Sylvester Stallone's Escape Plan Movies, Ranked Worst To Best

How do Sylvester Stallone's Escape Plan movies rank, from worst to best? As one of Sylvester Stallone's numerous action movies series, the original Escape Plan debuted in 2013, with Stallone playing security expert Ray Breslin, who specializes in testing prison security settings. The real selling point of Escape Plan was the film marking the first on-screen team-up of Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger (their prior collaborations on the first two movies in The Expendables ensemble franchise aside.)

While Escape Plan was only a moderate hit, it was followed by two straight-to-video sequels, Escape Plan 2: Hades and Escape Plan: The Extractors. Stallone returned as Breslin for both films, with the two sequels taking Breslin on new missions in different prison complexes with new enemies and allies to send him on other elaborate missions. While Schwarzenegger didn't return for either of the Escape Plan sequels, 50 Cent came back as Breslin's associate Hush with other action movie stars like Dave Bautista, Daniel Bernhardt, and Max Zhang coming aboard.

Still, while not reaching the same iconic heights as Rocky, Rambo, or The Expendables movies, Escape Plan has brought its own strengths to Stallone's filmography as a prison-based action movie franchise. Here are the three movies in the Escape Plan trilogy, ranked from weakest to strongest.

Sylvester Stallone is not exactly fond of Escape Plan 2: Hades, referring to it as "the most
