The Perfect Plan

Three small time crooks, Jake, Tony and Simon, desperate to escape their frustrating and unfulfilled lives, plot to kidnap some valuable laboratory mice and extort a £2 million ransom from Gilbert Pharmaceuticals, where Jake works as a security guard.

Jake's masterstroke is to employ a film crew to record their attempt. If the heist fails, he sells the film - nice little nest egg for when he gets out of prison.

For the crew, trapped in the cul-de-sac of corporate video, this could be their ticket to the big time.

But the best laid plans...

The mice - Colonel, Wiseguy, Stumpy, Pearly, Scaredy and Nasty - in the tradition of all great celluloid Prisoners of War, form an escape committee and are planning their own bid for freedom.

A Modern Ealing Comedy

Aimed squarely at 18 - 35 year olds, Labrats takes some of the finest ingredients from the golden age of British comedy - warm, colourful characters, quirky situations and gentle satire - and applies them to a contemporary story to create an original, inventive and very funny film.
