Acid Factory Plot Summary

What happens in Acid Factory from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 11 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Five men awaken inside a locked factory, the air thick with confusion as the doors stay stubbornly shut and every sound echoes off concrete walls. Two of the prisoners are secretly hostages, taken by the other three to fuel a planned heist, yet the group members themselves are uncertain who is holding whom. A tense silence breaks when a phone rings, and a voice crackles through—Kaiser [Irrfan Khan], the gang’s leader, promises he’s on his way with ransom money and that he will tip off the hostages as soon as he arrives. The claustrophobic space becomes a pressure cooker as everyone tests each other’s memories and motives, and every move is shadowed by the fear that one misstep could be fatal.
