Flee the Facility (film)

Flee the Facility is a 2022 American animated action/adventure/sci-fi/thriller/horror film produced by New Line Cinema and ROBLOX Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It marks the first film in the ROBLOX Game Cinematic Universe as well as the first ROBLOX movie outside of the ROBLOX: The Movie universe.

Synopsis
A normal facility. A dangerous beast. A powerful hammer. After scientist Jack Morgan accidentally unleashes the Hammer of Justice's power across the facility, a beast attracted to the hammer's power willingly wanders into the facility, wreaking havoc left and right to try to find the hammer's location. The rest of the scientists, on the other hand, weren't expecting such an event to happen, so they have to hack the computers in time to fend themselves from any intruders (including the beast) now that the hammer was released as well as finding more about the Hammer of Justice and what organisms are attracted to it while also not trying to get attacked themselves.
