Check out BMW’s short film The Escape, featuring Clive Owen, Dakota Fanning and Jon Bernthal. Directed by District 9 and Chappie director; Neill Blomkamp.

You may guess that Hollywood stars like Clive Owen and Dakota Fanning would be the stars of the show, however the real star is the new 2017 BMW 5 Series, the real reason behind the film.

How do we view this short film? More so as a really expensive advert for the upcoming 5 Series, but boy what an advert it is.
