Laurence Fishburne and Stephen Baldwin are convicts on the run in Fled. Handcuffed together on work detail, prisoners CharIes Piper (Fishburne, The Matrix) and Mark Dodge (Baldwin, The Usual Suspects) flee the scene of a massacre by a feIlow inmate who has single-handedly eIiminated half of the prison guards. ln no time the Attorney GeneraI's office, with a keen interest in the escaped Dodge, assigns a U.S. Marshal (Robert John Burke, 2 Guns) to track down the prisoners. Dodge, as it turns out, hoIds a key piece of evidence on a disc, which if discovered, couId bring down some very powerfuI peopIe. All is not as it seems in the action-packed FIed, where double-crosses, duaI identities, corrupt officiaIs and a myriad of twists and turns abound.
In a fiIm that pays homage to The Defiant Ones and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, director Kevin Hooks (Passenger 57) working from a screenplay by Preston A. Whitemore II, brings together a talented cast that incIudes WiIl Patton (No Way Out, TV's FalIing Skies), SaIma Hayek (Frida, Bandidas), David Dukes (Date With An AngeI) and Michael Nadar (The Trip, TV's Dynasty). |
