CAPTIVE STATE
.
An alien race has descended upon the planet. Authorities and armed forces are advised to stand by before making moves.
A family of four is trying to drive to school, but the father cuts out of the line to get out of traffic. He takes the family down a
restricted street and is shot at by cops. They make their way through a bridge before realizing something dangerous is at the
other end. As the father tries to turn the car around, a creature emits a blast that vaporizes the mother and father. The two
boys in the back are left holding each other in terror as one of the aliens comes toward the car to reveal its faceless
appearance.
Over the next nine years, the aliens take control of the planet and are referred to as the Legislators. Several humans have
sided with the Legislators and are helping them exploit the planet’s natural resources. The rich have benefited more from
their alliance and the poor have suffered more for it. Humans are forced to carry implants in their necks that can be tracked. A
secret insurgency group called Phoenix has been making attempts to strike the aliens’ Closed Zone, with the intent to wage
an all-out war. The result of their first attack causes the Legislators to destroy Wicker Park
Chicago - A government official named William Mulligan (John Goodman) is spying on Gabriel Drummond (Ashton
Sanders), who lives with his girlfriend Rula (Madeleine Brewer). He leaves to go to work with his friend Jurgis (Coulson
Baker). Gabriel’s brother Rafe (Jonathan Majors) has a reputation among the people in the area prior to his apparent death.
Mulligan follows an address to a prostitute known only as Jane Doe (Vera Farmiga). She gives him a box giving him a lead
on Phoenix. As he gathers evidence and discusses with his partner Kermode (Kevin J O’Connor), a professor named
Charles Rittenhouse discusses with his cohort Patrick Ellison (James Ransone) that they are planning on making a break
into the Closed Zone over Soldier Field that night, which will be the site of a rally that hopes to attract the Legislators.
Gabriel goes to his job at a factory where he downloads some information from a computer. He witnesses a coworker steal a
powdered substance. He later meets with a young woman named Carrie (KiKi Layne), who rolls him a cigarette that he
needs for a job. Later, the woman from earlier is being escorted by two masked men while she pleads fearfully for mercy.
Gabriel then meets with Jurgis and shows hesitation about acting for this job, since he wants to go straight for Rula. They
hear a siren outside, and the two run, but Gabriel is found by Mulligan. He questions him about Phoenix and Rafe, even
mentioning that Gabriel’s father was his partner, but he refuses to talk to Mulligan.
Gabriel goes to a location he was given for the job to deliver the cigarette, but he is forcibly taken into a van. He is brought to
meet Rafe, who is actually alive and leading Phoenix. Gabriel is overwhelmed and learns that Rafe was the only one in his
group to survive an assault against the aliens, whom the group refers to as roaches. Rafe gives Gabriel money, but he wants
his brother to come back with him and get their lives back to normal. Rafe is more concerned with launching an attack
against the Legislators. Gabriel leaves, and Rafe opens the cigarette to find a coded message, which he passes on through
a carrier pigeon.
Gabriel returns home to try and get Rula to leave with him, while Mulligan tracks and overhears his conversation. He hears
Gabriel mention Rafe being alive and that Phoenix is planning something. He fails to convince Rula to go with him, so he runs
off on his own. Mulligan pursu
es Gabriel, who quickly realizes he’s being followed and starts to run. Gabriel finds a hiding spot that turns out to be in the
Closed Zone. He finds large tentacles that try to get him, but he hides in a booth and uses a special collar to keep the tracker
off.
The members of Phoenix begin to set their plan in motion. Ellison delivers the code to his colleagues and is then assigned to
target Robert Watts (Michael Collins), the mayor’s deputy who can get them close to the Legislators. The others are called
together and undergo procedures to have their implants removed, although the surgery proves fatal for some. A clear sac-like
material is then distributed to be used as a bomb that will be passed on by Watts.
Thousands of people gather at Soldier Field for the rally. Phoenix moves quickly to get by undetected as their plan is being
carried out. Rafe manages to plant the bomb onto Watts just as the alien ship hovers over the stadium. As Watts approaches
the Legislators in the halls of the stadium, the bomb detonates. Everyone starts to evacuate. Phoenix members run and are
shot at but attempt to flee anyway. Rafe tries to run but is found by an alien similar to what killed his parents. It attacks Rafe,
but one other Phoenix member manages to weaken the alien and help Rafe escape. They proceed to hide any evidence of
their involvement, while Gabriel awakens and runs away with nowhere to go.
In the aftermath of the bombing, Mulligan meets with Commissioner Eugene Igoe (Kevin Dunn) over trying to stop Phoenix.
Igoe wants to keep things smoothed over with the Legislators in the hopes that they can make their way off the planet due to
its rapid decay. He then enters a pod that transports him into the Closed Zone.
As fireballs start shooting across the sky as a perceived retaliation by the Legislators, Mulligan leads a raid against Gabriel’s
building to look for the brothers until Gabriel makes himself known and goes with Mulligan. He gets in touch with a Phoenix
member and appears to threaten his family to get information on the others’ whereabouts. A bus carrying several members is
stopped in a blacked out station garage before armed guards and an alien in a large suit enters the bus. It goes for one male
Phoenix member, but he commits suicide before he can be captured. It then goes after Rafe, who fights back and gets off the
bus but is taken down by Mulligan.
Gabriel is interrogated by Mulligan and is forcibly persuaded when he sees that Mulligan is keeping Rafe as a prisoner. Rafe
pleads with Gabriel to not follow Mulligan, but it doesn’t look like he has a choice as Mulligan tells Gabriel that the Legislators
want to level Pilsen the same way they did Wicker Park. Mulligan tasks Gabriel with infiltrating Phoenix’s cell by delivering a
message. Gabriel makes it to their base and is recognized by Rittenhouse as one of his students. He escorts Gabriel to the
apartment of Jane Doe. As she greets him, Mulligan orders his men to barge in and shoot her. Mulligan and Kermode later
arrive to search the place and come across a wire behind the walls that leads to a space with hidden information and files.
Mulligan sits to meet with the Legislators to give them all the details on Phoenix. He convinces them that their network is
neutralized, and he discloses that the prostitute’s real name was Priscilla Scott, as well as Igoe apparently being in on it when
the recordings from her room are played. The Phoenix members are then outed, and some commit suicide to avoid being
found. Mulligan is then instructed to go to the Closed Zone for further orders. The remaining Phoenix members are made to
get into a Legislator ship which flies into the sky.
Mulligan later finds Gabriel and tells him Rafe is alive, but he doesn’t care since Rafe didn’t care about him either and his
plan failed anyway. Mulligan says it may have been intentional for them to fail. He hands Gabriel a chip with something he
must watch. Gabriel takes it to his job and plays it on a computer. It features what seems to be a baby shower for Gabriel’s
mother. Priscilla and Rittenhouse are among the guests, which also includes none other than Mulligan himself, which means
that he was part of Phoenix from the very beginning as part of a plan to gain the Legislators’ trust and infiltrate the Closed
Zone. Gabriel finishes the video and deletes the footage. Mulligan is then seen being strapped and sent into the Closed
Zone.
The credits show reports of Closed Zones being taken down across the country.
