The starring vehicle in "Locked" is a "Dolus", a bespoke, custom-built Land Rover Defender-based SUV.
It was specially designed and constructed for the film and is now on display at the Volo Museum.
It is a unique vehicle featuring completely bespoke bodywork, meticulous interior detailing, and striking lighting.
Two "Dolus" vehicles were produced: one for interior and hero shots and another for more intensive stunt driving.
They cost a staggering US$1.3 million to build.
Shot in Vancouver, Canada, during November and December 2023, it remained unreleased until March 2025.
A remake of the Argentinian film 4x4 (2019), which was earlier remade in Brazil as A Jaula (2022).
The Dolus's number plate, 18US3591, alludes to Title 18 of the United States Code, section 3591, which sets out the factors to be taken into account for persons convicted of offences punishable by death.
The vehicle's name, Dolus, comes from Latin, signifying deception, deceit or guile, and alludes to a character in Aesop's fables.
The Dolorus icon carries the emblem of justice, which underpins the film's principal theme.
Glen Powell was initially connected to the project as the leading actor.
