Back in the day Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were often considered professional rivals and at times vied for similar roles. It's quite exciting then, that all these years later we get to see the screen legends together in an action film. Sure they may have aged a bit, but in the right hands and with a decent enough budget, the two are still capable of packing in a punch at the box office.

In the film, Stallone plays a structural engineer who finds himself incarcerated in a prison he designed. He then has to put his skills to escape and find out who framed him, with the help of a cellmate played by Schwarzenegger.

The film looks like fun and has the prerequisite dead pan humour and dry wit that both actors are renown for.  

Escape Plan is directed by Swedish filmmaker Mikael Håfström,  and hits theatres this Friday 18 October.
