Dafoe stars as an art thief who enters a collector’s high-tech penthouse hunting for valuable works of art, only to be trapped inside when the security system locks the apartment down. When help fails to arrive, the thief — surrounded by so many of the art works he covets and admires — must use all of his cunning and invention to survive, even as supplies dwindle and his body is pushed toward ever-more-demanding extremes.
“Inside” was filmed at Cologne’s MMC TV & Film Studios, where production designer Thorsten Sabel constructed a set that measured 26-ft. high and spanned more than 8,000 sq. ft.
