The Belko Experiment
2017 · R · 1h 29m
Who dies first?
Eighty employees. One locked building. The voice on the intercom has a number. The office has to decide who fills it.
Eighty American employees arrive for an ordinary workday at Belko Industries, a nonprofit housed in an isolated office tower on the outskirts of Bogotá. When steel shutters seal every exit and a voice over the intercom orders them to start killing each other, the social contract of the workplace collapses in real time. What follows is an unflinching study of what people do when authority removes every other option.

SpoilersSynopsis — contains plot detailsSynopsis↓
Employees arrive for work at Belko Industries in a remote office building outside Bogotá, Colombia. Local staff are turned away at the gate — today it's Americans only. Steel shutters crash down over every window and door. A calm voice over the PA announces the rules: kill two coworkers within thirty minutes, or four will die by other means.
The employees dismiss it as a prank — until four skulls detonate. The emergency tracking implants installed in all staff were explosive devices. The voice repeats itself. The numbers escalate. The deadlines shrink. A faction forms around Barry Norris, a senior VP who decides the only rational move is organized, efficient killing — prioritize the old, maximize productive years. Mike Milch leads the faction that refuses.
The building collapses into open warfare. Norris's group seizes the armory and begins systematic execution. Mike's group fights back, room by room. By the time it's over, the building is a slaughterhouse. Norris kills Mike's allies. Mike kills Norris.
The shutters open. Men in hazmat suits collect data. The experiment's architect explains to Mike that Belko runs these globally — behavioral research under extreme duress. Mike shoots him and as many controllers as he can reach before being gassed and subdued.
Mike wakes in a white room. A smiling man tells him they'd like to discuss his performance. Outside, another Belko building is opening for the day. New employees are filing in.
