500 runaway prisoners, the visiting president's daughter and several hostages are trapped in a space prison called "Space 1". In exchange for rescuing the president's daughter, the unjustified male lead is spared 30 years of sleeping in captivity. The whole film tells how he rescued the president's daughter in the countdown time and completed another mission of his own.

The story is ordinary, the plot is a bit thin, and some parts are unreasonable and vague. It seems that the part where the heroine finally made a grievance for the hero and exposes someone's conspiracy seems to be hastily. In addition, the rescue operation is too easy, which also weakens the drama of the film.

Don't think that the story is set in a space prison, it is a future version of "prison situation". In fact, there are not many confrontation scenes in the prison. Most of them have their own shots, that is, how the hero and heroine avoid the prisoners, and the prisoners make threatening expressions on the camp screen on the other side, so strictly speaking, it is not very Like the prison movies we're used to seeing.

However, this film is better than procrastination. The character of the male protagonist is designed to be funny and humorous, and his interaction and ridicule with the female protagonist is a good-looking place.

There are not many action scenes, and the movie is called a science fiction movie, but in fact, the elements of science fiction are not strong (but the background of the story is 2079, and everything is relatively high-tech).

From the character's lines and some passages, we can see the director's dissatisfaction with the U.S. government's sloppy beating, hasty investigation, concealing facts from the citizens, how to cross the bridge, and the inhumane treatment of prisoners.

Although the director used the topic to play these dissatisfaction, the audience can also treat this play as an ordinary action movie, after all, this is a movie that does not require much brains to understand.

Overall, it's a movie with no surprises, but as 95 minutes of entertainment, it's okay if you're interested in killing time.
