Read the complete plot breakdown of Unlocked (2017), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Alice Racine, a therapist at a London Community Center, leads a solitary life in her quiet apartment. However, her past reveals a darker truth: she was once a skilled interrogation officer with the CIA, haunted by the memory of a catastrophic mission in Paris that claimed countless lives. Driven by a desire for redemption, Alice regularly consults with MI5 Intelligence Chief Emily Knowles about the possibility of returning to the field. Her former mentor, Eric Lasche, urges her not to dwell on her past mistakes, emphasizing that she still has the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

The tension escalates when Alice discovers that Islamic extremist [Yazeed Khalil] is collaborating with convert [David Mercer] to stage a biological attack on an American target in Britain. Meanwhile, MI5 operatives capture Khalil’s courier, Lateef, under the orders of CIA chief [Bob Hunter]. [Frank Sutter] manipulates Alice into assisting in the interrogation of Lateef, which leads her to uncover critical intelligence linking the attack to Mercer. As Alice begins to expose the truth, she realizes that Sutter may have ulterior motives and is being used as a pawn in a larger game.

In a desperate bid to escape danger, Alice warns Lateef about the impending threat, but chaos ensues, resulting in Lateef’s death. A brutal attack on Lasche’s home further complicates her situation as she witnesses his murder. Finding refuge in a hotel with the help of a burglar, whom she later identifies as Jack Alcott, Alice reluctantly teams up with him. Their partnership begins to blossom as they meet with Alice’s friend and former patient, Amjad.

Alcott and Racine manage to locate Khalil, who reveals that he has renounced his extremist views. However, a shocking betrayal unfolds as Alcott’s true intentions are revealed, leading to a gripping confrontation involving a pit bull and a desperate struggle for survival. Amjad’s brave intervention creates an opportunity for Alice to escape, but the danger is far from over.

As Alice joins forces with Knowles to confront Mercer’s plans, the stakes rise when it becomes clear that one of their own, sniper [John Wilson], is a double agent. After a series of harrowing events, including a tragic loss for Alice when Amjad is killed, the final confrontation takes place in a warehouse connected to a planned attack at a football stadium.

In a race against time, Alice fights to thwart the biological attack orchestrated by Wilson and Sutter. Ultimately facing Lasche in a showdown, she narrowly prevents disaster, turning the tide against those who wronged her by saving countless lives. Amidst the chaos, Alice finally gets her chance for vengeance against Mercer, avenging Amjad’s death with a swift and brutal act of justice.

With her return to the field affirmed, Alice is presented with the opportunity to serve once more, symbolizing her path toward healing from the demons of her past.
