This time, the team is called to rescue one of their own, Shu Ren (played by Xiaoming Huang), who is trapped in a high-tech prison called Hades.
Hades is a state-of-the-art facility where prisoners are held in stasis, and the prison is controlled by a computerized artificial intelligence called The Zookeeper. The inmates are forced to engage in virtual reality combat for the amusement of wealthy clients.

In the climax, Breslin and Shu Ren face off against powerful adversaries and attempt to expose the truth behind the conspiracy. The resolution involves the characters dealing with the aftermath of their escape and the potential for future challenges.
“Escape Plan 2: Hades” received negative reviews from critics, who criticized its convoluted plot, lackluster action, and departure from the tone of the first film. Despite the negative reception, a third film in the series, “Escape Plan: The Extractors,” was released in 2019.
