Storyline

Recently divorced Meg Altman and her daughter Sarah have bought a new home in New York. On their tour around the mansion, they come across the panic room. A room so secure, that no one can get in. When three burglars break in, Meg makes a move to the panic room. But all her troubles don't stop there. The criminals know where she is, and what they require the most in the house is in that very room. Written by Film_Fan

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Sarah was seen drinking from a red Coke can and eating pizza early in the movie. A type I diabetic like Sarah would have been drinking Diet Coke since it is sugar free, not a regular Coke. Therefore the can should have been silver, not red. (Also given the fact that Sarah was eating pizza and drinking regular Coke, both of which are high in carbohydrates and sugars, it is extremely unlikely she would have a low blood glucose level anytime that evening.)

Quotes

Lydia Lynch: [First Lines] I wrote it all down: 4,200 square feet, four floors. Perfect. Courtyard in back, south-facing garden. Perfect.
Meg: Shouldn't we just wait for the car service?
Lydia Lynch: No, we'll sit in traffic forever.
Meg: Is that the listing sheet?
Lydia Lynch: There is no listing sheet. I heard about it this morning. It'll be gone by this afternoon.
Meg: Well, how many more after this one.
Lydia Lynch: None. You know how tight the market is.
