A young girl only referred to as 'Babydoll' (Emily Browning) is sent to an asylum, after being blamed for the murder of her sister at the hands of their abusive father. Retreating into a created world to shield herself from the harsh conditions of the asylum, she conjures five flights of fantasy which include four other inmates (including the lovely Vanessa Hudgens) and are essentially heavily fantasized capsule stories which mirror less stylized events happening around them as they plot their escape.

Sucker Punch is one of the most repugnantly indulgent, borderline exploitative and misogynistic films I have ever seen. During the films publicity blitz, Snyder articulately described the films themes of female empowerment and as a satire of the sexual identity. But it's hard to take his words seriously when almost every frame of film is slathered in clear contradiction of this.
