Renny Harlin‘s (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea, The Strangers: Chapter 1-3) next feature is set to be a prison rescue thriller titled, Evac.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“A medical specialist must team up with a wounded inmate she was sent to rescue after their medical helicopter crash-lands in a volatile prison yard. Together, the mismatched duo must survive the night and fight their way out amidst a dangerous, unfolding prison conspiracy.”

Sidney King (Skyfire) wrote the screenplay.

“The script is a non-stop adrenaline rush,” said Harlin. “It combines an intense, ticking-clock rescue mission with deep, character-driven stakes. The moment that chopper goes down, the audience will be trapped right there in the yard with our heroes. I’ve always loved high-octane stories where everyday professionals are thrown into extraordinary, survival-stakes environments.”

Producer Michael Roccio adds, “We are thrilled to have Renny Harlin directing Evac. He is a true master of cinematic suspense and grand-scale action. Sidney has crafted a brilliant pressure-cooker world that balances prison politics with raw survival prowess. We are confident Evac will become an unforgettable theatrical experience for action fans worldwide.”

Deadline first reported on the film.
