Sucker Punch Synopsis
“In February 2009, Snyder released a short synopsis of Sucker Punch which states: “Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution in Brattleboro, Vermont and while there she starts to imagine an alternate reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is captured by an unknown adversary. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate.” – Wikipedia

Looks interesting and promising. On a side note, I really like the artwork. There are several similar apocalyptic-renegade style posters featuring some of the other girls as well. Not sure how this film will go over with the much larger male scifi following.
