Plot summary
Sabrina is one of fifty women locked in a bare prison by Elizabeth and Joseph, a husband and wife who arranged the kidnappings. The captives wear matching white tank tops and gray sweatpants, and none of them has shoes. Their keepers explain the rules: fights with bare hands, to the death, staged for wealthy spectators who stay out of sight. Every one of the women has a loved one on the outside, and a sniper waits to shoot that person if she refuses to take part or fails to win her bout.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Raze (2013)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Partway through filming Raze, Rosario Dawson was brought to the set for a cameo, having worked with Zoë Bell and Tracie Thoms on the 2007 film Death Proof. Bell was not told about Dawson's casting or arrival, because director Josh C. Waller wanted her appearance to be a surprise.
- Raze was shot on a very tight schedule, with the crew given only thirty days to film nineteen action sequences.
- While making Raze, director Josh C. Waller tried to treat it as seriously as if men were the ones abducted to fight each other, avoiding the stereotypes of the exploitative women-in-prison subgenre, such as nudity, and also avoiding gratuitous gore.
