Cube Zero

Ryjkin is a man trying to escape from the Cube. He is sprayed with a liquid that he fears is acid only to find it sweet tasting. He discovers to his horror it is a base that melts his body after a few minutes. The rooms in the Cube are being monitored from a room by two technicians who are unaware of who their employers are. The pair play chess during work, whereupon Wynn demonstrates abilities which he uses to predict moves. Wynn and Dodd are ordered to record the dream of a subject. Wynn sees Rains captured while walking in a forest with her daughter. Rains wakes up in the Cube and meets the other occupants. Haskell has the same tattoo on his forehead as the soldier who captured Rains. Haskell only knows his name and has no recollection of his life or how he got there. Everyone in the Cube faced a sentence and volunteered to partake in experiments instead. Rains' form is not found in her file. The captives venture through the Cube. Bartok and Meyerhold are all killed by traps. A call from their superiors instructs Wynn and Dodd to perform a procedure for Owen who has reached one of the exits of the Cube. The procedure fails after Owen answers no to a question ("Do you believe in God?") prompting Dodd to push a button which causes Owen to be incinerated. No one has ever answered positively. Wynn concludes that the Cube is inhumane and people are being placed in it against their will. Dodd is joined in the room by his supervisor Jax and two of his analysts, who have learned of the incident. Jax has the occupants trapped in one room, then electrifies the walls to electrocute them. Dodd relents and sabotages the panels servicing the Cube. This shuts down every trap and initiates a mode, which gives the prisoners ten minutes to escape the Cube as its rooms return to their positions, before a procedure vaporizes everything inside. Jax discovers Dodd's betrayal and kills him, then he activates Haskell's agent through a chip implanted in him. Haskell becomes hostile towards his companions, who struggle to continue their escape and leave him behind. They reach an exit to find Haskell waiting for them. Wynn and Rains manage to jump into the exit right as the procedure starts. Wynn and Rains swim through water and emerge in a lake. They run through a forest similar to the one seen in Rains's dream, while being chased by soldiers. Wynn is tranquilized and recaptured. He wakes up in a room, where Jax informs him that he has been sentenced for treason, and that he had agreed to become a subject, despite Wynn remembering neither the trial nor signing the consent. Wynn's brain is altered, and he dreams about Rains reuniting with her daughter and praising him as a superhero. Wynn is handicapped and found by Cube captives. He mentions the color of the room and that he wants to go back to a room of a different color. == Cast ==
