Reveal the answer
The Island (2005)
Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The Island is Michael Bay's 2005 dystopian action film in which Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson play clones raised in a controlled facility as organ donors for the wealthy. It flopped on release but found a second life on home video.
The clips open with stark white corridors and identical uniforms, a clean utopian look that could be several sci-fi films. The turn comes with the escape: desert highways, a hovering jet-bike pursuit and Bay's trademark destruction. When sterile futurism suddenly becomes a car commercial directed by a sledgehammer, this is your film.
