It was written by Steve Shibuya and Zack Snyder, directed by Snyder and the cast includes Emily Browning as the central character, Babydoll.It was released in both conventional and IMAX theatres at midnight on March 25, 2011.
In the 1960s, a 20-year-old girl nicknamed "Babydoll" (Emily Browning) is institutionalized by her stepfather at the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane after she is blamed for the death of her younger sister. Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), the asylum's orderly, is bribed by Babydoll's stepfather into faking the signature of the asylum's psychiatrist, Dr. Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino), to have Babydoll lobotomized so she can neither inform the authorities of what really happened nor reclaim her recently deceased mother's fortune. As she enters the institution, she notices details of its layout and security.
In the five days before the surgeon (Jon Hamm) arrives, Babydoll retreats to a fantasy world in which she is a newly-arrived virgin in a brothel owned by the mob. She befriends four other dancers—Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Rocket (Jena Malone) and her older sister, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish). Dr. Gorski appears here as the girls' dance instructor and tells Babydoll that her virginity will be sold to a client known as "The High Roller" who will be arriving in five days.
Madam Gorski forces Babydoll to perform an erotic dance. As she does this, she fantasizes an adventure in feudal Japan, where she meets the Wise Man (Scott Glenn), who tells her that she can escape if she collects five items: a map, fire, a knife, a key and a fifth, unrevealed item that would require "great sacrifice". He gives her a sword and a gun, instructing her to fight three demon samurai, which she defeats. Back in the brothel, the dance was apparently successful and has impressed the mobster boss, Blue.
Inspired by the Wise Man, Babydoll convinces her friends to prepare an escape. During subsequent dances, she imagines adventurous events that mirror the efforts of her friends in obtaining the items required to escape. These episodes are entering a bunker protected by steampunk German soldiers in the trenches of World War I to gain the map; storming an orc-filled castle to cut two crystals from the throat of a baby dragon for fire; boarding a train filled with robot guards to disarm a bomb to gain the knife. In this last episode, Rocket sacrifices herself to save her sister and dies when the bomb detonates. This is paralleled in the brothel fantasy, where the cook attempts to stab Sweet Pea as she steals a knife, instead killing Rocket who has jumped in to save her sister.
Blue realizes that the girls are planning something and hears Blondie telling Babydoll's plan to Madam Gorski. Finding evidence of the girls collecting the items, he locks Sweet Pea in a utility closet for her attempted theft. He later takes the girls backstage, where he proceeds to make examples of Amber and Blondie by shooting them. He tries to rape Babydoll, but she stabs him with the knife and frees Sweet Pea with Blue's master key. She and Sweet Pea start a fire with the stolen lighter so that, as a result of the fire alarm, the institution's doors unlock. They sneak out but their final exit is blocked by hoodlums.
Babydoll decides that the fifth item is herself and that her sacrifice is needed to complete Sweet Pea's story. She distracts the guards, allowing Sweet Pea to escape. The scene then cuts back to the asylum in which the surgeon has just performed the ice pick lobotomy. He is perturbed by her final expression and starts to question Dr. Gorski. They realize that Blue has forged the signature and he is apprehended as he is assaulting Babydoll in her cell while she remains catatonic.
Sweet Pea has escaped to a bus station but is stopped by suspicious police as she boards a bus. The bus driver—revealed to be the Wise Man who had helped the girls in their adventures—misleads the police and allows Sweet Pea to board without a ticket. Before pulling away, he tells her that she still "has a long way to go".
