Plot Synopsis

In the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive artificial organs. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.

JUDE LAW (Sherlock Holmes, Cold Mountain) plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. When he suffers a near-fatal injury on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake (Academy Award® winner FOREST WHITAKER of The Last King of Scotland, Vantage Point), to track him down.

Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (ALICE BRAGA of I Am Legend, Blindness), another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. And as he and Jake embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run.

Joining Law and Whitaker for Repo Men are LIEV SCHREIBER (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taking Woodstock) as The Union’s manager and top closer, Frank; CARICE VAN HOUTEN (Valkyrie, Body of Lies) as Remy’s wife, Carol; and RZA (Funny People, American Gangster) as T-Bone, the musician whose encounter with Remy ends Remy’s ability to do his job.
