The prison is overseen by Steve (Chris Hemsworth), a disarmingly charming man who orchestrates drug testing in return for early release. ..
Jeff realises the inherent dangers involved with the drug testing and plans an escape with Lizzy.
Do addicts who successfully complete treatment programs escape the grip of addiction? And do they become free of the drugs that are controlling their actions? Let’s take a closer look. ..
Why are Jeff and Lizzy at the facility?
Jeff’s sentence is harsh, but it is not the only punishment he faces. Lizzy must also cope with the guilt she feels for leaving her child in the car.
The inmates at Spiderhead are kept in a maximum-security prison, but they are not the only ones. The inmates at Spiderhead think they are free, because here they can wander around freely. However, it soon becomes apparent that this is not the case.
What drugs are tested on the inmates?
The prison uses several drugs to treat inmates. These are delivered through the MobiPaks that are connected to each inmate’s bloodstream. ..
Jeff agrees to take N-40 (Luvactin) with two of the other inmates, Heather and Sarah. The drug causes people to fall in love and become intimate with one another.
G-46 (Laffodil) is a drug that causes laughter. It is used at the start of the movie to break the ice with Ray, who is struggling to understand some uncomfortable facts about the Rwandan genocide.
I-16 is infinitely more harmful than any other drug as it causes the recipient to become depressed and have suicidal thoughts. At one point in the movie, this drug is administered to Heather and it causes her to kill herself.
The central drug in the film is B-6 (Obediex), which causes people to become obedient to those who are controlling them. It later becomes evident that Steve has been using this throughout the movie, so while the inmates assumed they had free will, it turns out that they were being manipulated to do whatever Steve wanted them to do. ..
Why is Steve carrying out the drug tests?
According to Steve, he is carrying out the tests for the good of humanity. However, it becomes apparent that his motivations are far more selfish. As his drugs can make a person become compliant, there is obviously a place for these in the marketplace. Imagine what businesses or governments could do with such drugs, as they could control the behaviour of the masses!
Steve has a business model that involves selling drugs to others, but we don’t quite understand why he does it. He may have greed and hope as motivations, but we don’t know for sure.
How does Jeff find out about B-6?
Jeff is invited to watch drug testing on Heather, but when she cuts her own throat after being given Darkenfloxx, he is left alone while Steve and his assistant try to aid her.
Jeff, in the control room, finds Steve’s pocketbook. Inside are some notes and a picture of Steve and Lizzy. Jeff reads the notes and sees that Steve has been conducting experiments with B-6. He also sees that the picture is from when they first met. This makes Jeff realise that Steve has been using him all along and he decides to leave the facility with Lizzy. He starts to put a plan in motion to get them both out safely. ..
Do Jeff and Lizzy escape?
As Steve has a Mobi-Pak of his own (to test the drugs on himself for scientific purposes), Jeff is able to convince Mark to fill the pack with B-6 and other drugs. It’s a good job that he did as this is the means for Jeff’s eventual escape.
In the end of the movie, Steve uses B-6 to make Jeff administer Darkenfloxx to Lizzie.
Jeff refuses to administer the drug, proving that B-6 isn’t as strong as Steve thought it was. The two get into a fight. Steve’s Mobi-Pak breaks during the scuffle, causing him to be filled with the mix of drugs that have been placed inside. This causes him to lose control of the fight and his emotions.
Jeff and Lizzy escape the facility and make it to a boat on the mainland. They set sail into the sunset while behind them, Steve follows in his plane. But as the drugs have messed with Steve’s mind, he crashes his plane and presumably dies in the explosion.
Do Jeff and Lizzy have free will?
It’s been a few days since Steve’s plane crashed, and Lizzy has started to laugh more than ever. It could be assumed that she is still under the influence of the drug that Ray was given when he laughed uncontrollably at the start of the movie.
However, we cannot be sure. It is possible that they still have traces of the drugs in their system, but as there are no more people to administer fresh doses, it is likely they are free of the effects of the drugs and the facility. ..
