Boot Camp, also released in the UK as Punishment, is
a 2008 psychological thriller film written by Agatha Dominik and John
Cox and directed by Christian Duguay.
The film's working title was Straight Edge and it was shot in Fiji as the first film to utilize the southwest Pacific Ocean Island country's five-year-old incentive program that had been designed to create jobs while building a film production infrastructure. It is about teenagers sent to a rehabilitation camp (in Fiji) who are then abused and brainwashed. The film stars Mila Kunis, Gregory Smith and Peter Stormare. The filming began on October 2, 2006, in Fiji and then continued in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Plot
This film is the story of a group of unruly teenagers whose
parents send them to rehabilitation boot camp to turn them around.
The camp collects each child individually, and then delivers them to the boot
camp facility owned by Dr. Arthur Hail, on a remote island in Fiji. There are
no walls to stop the teenagers from leaving, but escape is impractical due to
the surrounding sea. On arriving at the camp, the teenagers are forced to wear
cuffs with sensors around their ankles—if they attempt to escape, security will
be alerted.
The main teenagers featured are Sophie, her boyfriend Ben,
Danny and Trina. As time passes on the island, Sophie rebels against Dr. Hail
and once Ben joins her, the two escape to a nearby island. However, they are
recaptured and Ben is told he will be sent home. One morning, while on a run,
Logan has the male teenagers go swimming. However, Danny, who can't swim,
drowns and Logan tries to get Ben to help cover it up by threatening him with
solitary confinement, but Ben refuses.
Meanwhile, Sophie discovers that Logan has raped Trina. When
he is put before the camp to admit responsibility for Danny's death, she
reveals this to the rest of the teenagers, many of whom also were offered
yellow shirts by Logan in exchange for sex. As the teenagers surround Logan,
Sophie turns the attention onto Hail, at which point Ben announces to the
shocked teenagers that this isn't the first death to occur on a camp run by Dr.
Hail.
The teenagers run amok and burn down the entire campsite. In
addition, they go after Logan, who dies when his Toyota Land Cruiser crashes
into a burning building. At this point, they turn their attention solely to
Hail, who tries to shoot them in the hope that he can restore order. However,
after finding out his gun wasn't loaded, he is thrown into solitary
confinement, to be left for the police to arrest. As the film fades out, we see
images of the teenager’s celebrating freedom and swimming in the ocean. A
message also appears on the screen stating that since the 1970s, when these
types of camps were introduced in real life, over 40 deaths have occurred.
