What Is Terra Nova About?

The premise of Terra Nova without spoilers.

Set in 2013, the film depicts a world swamped with violent criminals after the death penalty is abolished. Under orders from the One World Government, UN peacekeepers—dubbed “blue helmets”—initiate a social experiment, forcibly exiling the outlaws to a remote, deserted island to test a new method of containment.
