Sometime in the near future, paraplegic prison inmate Matt Mills meets "The Board" of Satoshi-Telefair Industries, who thank him for joining the Program. Under pressure and with a promise to make him walk again, Mills agrees to volunteer. He is injected with a synthetic nanomaterial and suffocated, only to wake up with restored use of his legs, yet alone in a steel cell in the first spoke of an experimental apparatus - The Wheel. A series of assailants inflict a multitude of damage to Mills' body and torment his mind, yet the synthetic nanomaterial not only restores his damaged organs, it re-engineers his strength. The experiment might be designed to kill, but Mills is determined to survive - and get back to his daughter before The Board finds her first.

　　《零点爆破》片在处理爆破场面有两场最为吸引，爆车、爆船，也可谓达到大爆炸的感官刺激。确实，一班幕后精英确实花了不少心思设计，这点从影片不断营造气氛方面可以肯定。剧中刺激过瘾的地方，相信是爆炸前一刻的情节处理，插电话接驳线、开煤气炉等生活小节也在企图制造一种危机感，好让观众透不过气。在人物性格与铺排正邪斗法方面，《零点爆破》也下了不少工夫，务求故事说来合情合理，且讲述了一段不光彩的往事，令剧情走向多元化，对于一部刺激动作电影来说，尽管用上公式化的商业元素，但也强调了动作戏的基本要求。
