Repo Men


"For a price, any organ in your body can be replaced but it can also be repossessed."

In the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, humans have extended and improved lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you  don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property with no concern for your comfort or survival.

Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. When he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake to track him down. Meanwhile, Remy finds an unexpected ally in the form of his long-lost wife, Beth who has also been retrofitted with numerous artificial organs. Now, despite the fact that they haven't seen each other since Remy joined the army ten years ago, the desperate repo man and his sympathetic wife attempt a daring escape from a man who holds the lives of millions in the palm of his hands.
