I'm yet to see ' The Island' due to my large distaste of movies I deem to be loosely based off of other ideas. But after reading the synopsis and watching the trailer I think I got the general idea of the plot. I'm not entirely certain of this, but I think 'The Island', or at least parts of it, are based on Nancy Farmers, 'The House Of The Scorpion' book, due to 'The House Of The Scorpion' being created years earlier. Similarities present in both the movie and the book are the concept of a futuristic world. A world where human clones are grown and harvested for their organs, unbeknowest to the clones. Another similarity is the clone figuring out, or in the case of 'The Island', "the clones" figuring out, what they actually are, and what they were created for.
