Synopsis:

Battle Royale meets Escape From New York. Full of unrelentingly macho, violent sci-fi action Terra Nova is an action thriller in a similar vein to The Condemned. The year is 2013 and, with the abolition of the death penalty, prisons are overflowing across the globe presenting a major problem for the authorities. The solution is to ship a consignment of them to a far-flung, freezing god-foresaken place and let them colonise it. When they find themselves deposited at their new home, the authorities leave a pile of numbered keys with which to unlock their chains, and then retreat to a safe distance. All hell breaks loose and amongst scenes of carnage, the Russians kill the Chechens with uncontrolled acts of murderous violence. It isn't long before Kingpin Monkey has taken charge, and with the help of his lackies, a new prison is created where punishment is fatal.

Set in 2013, a motley crew of prisoners are shipped to a far northern island in the remote Arctic and left to fight it out over supplies and survival.
