''[[The Island]]'' is a 2005 film by [[Michael Bay]] set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] starring [[Ewan McGregor]] as [[You Are Number Six|Lincoln Six Echo]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] as Jordan Two Delta. They live in a tightly controlled facility for "survivors" from a vague disaster that rendered the Earth uninhabitable except for "The Island", a paradise on Earth. Periodically, survivors "found" in the outside world are brought in, needing to learn basic skills like reading, while others "win the lottery" and get to go to the island.
 
It turns out [[Tomato in the Mirror|they're all clones]] that will be [[People Farms|used for spare parts]] as part of a life-insurance policy, and those [[Released to Elsewhere|sent off to The Island]] [[The Cake Is a Lie|are killed]]. When Lincoln starts [[Ghost Memory|getting dreams]] [[Genetic Memory|from his original]] he gets curious and stumbles across a harvesting procedure, he goes back to rescue Jordan and the two escape to the outside world.
 
Many fans consider this an unofficial remake of ''[[Parts the Clonus Horror]]'', since both share far too many similarities to be coincidence. It also seems to have echoes of ''[[Logan's Run]]''. Also notable for being one of the ''many'' movies in which [[Sean Bean]] is a bad guy.
