Breakout (2013 film)

Jack (Brendan Fraser) is an ecologically conscious father who is fighting logging in Canada. His wife Maria (Amy Price-Francis) is a lawyer who begs him not to go out on the next protest, which sounds like a setup. Jack goes, gets involved in a fight and accidentally kills a man. He is imprisoned and his wife separates from him.

Tommy Baxter (Dominic Purcell) takes his mentally challenged brother Kenny (Ethan Suplee) illegally across the border to escape parole. On the way, a gas station clerk calls Kenny a retard. Tommy snaps and beats him up for the insult.

They arrive in Canada. Tommy has arranged a rural house in Canada for them to live in, and hopefully for Kenny to get a job and a normal life. However, the owner objects to the brothers renting the property and attempts to evict them forcibly with his rifle. Tommy grabs the rifle and shoots the owner - but two children see him do so. The two children are Jack's kids, away for the weekend for a camping trip with a friend.

Tommy endeavours to chase the kids down with the intention of killing them.

Jack's daughter, Jen, loses her phone and Kenny picks it up. He calls Maria, mistakenly believing she is his mother. Maria tells Jack what's happening. Jack escapes from his prison work detail and endeavours to protect them. Kenny continues to call Maria and report to his "mom". He promises to protect Jen.

Jack fights with Tommy multiple times before finally killing him with a knife, causing Tommy to accidentally fatally wound Kenny, who was standing in front of Jen, protecting her as per his promise to "mom". Kenny helps to free Mikey from a bear trap before finally dying.
