From what I understand, the story is set in the 1950′s. Baby Doll is committed to a mental institution where she begins to imagine an alternative reality where the ward is a brothel. More interestingly, the ward and brothel use the exact same sets, but painted and set dressed to look completely different — an alternate reality. She plans to escape from this imaginary world but to do so she needs to team up with her inmates/brothel co-workers, who through the power of dance sequences, are transported into different worlds which include a Samurai land populated with giants, the world of medieval dragons, a World War I trench with zombified German soldiers and a monorail like train set in an evil robot-inhabited future.The girls must defeat a big boss in each world and steal five magical objects. The magical objects are representations of items or things in the real institution. For example, one of the missions is to steal fire from a dragon, and the fire is represented in the real world by a particular zippo lighter. So the film is like one giant video game with three different Inception layered levels of gameplay. If that doesn’t sound crazy and super ambitious, then I don’t know what does.
Hearing the revised rating initially worried me. But don’t fret — I later learned that Snyder found a way around the system. The movie is violent, and is able to maintain it’s level of violence by making minor cheats
