Storyline
Plot Summary |
Waking groggy in pitch darkness, Paul Conroy, an American truck driver working in Iraq in 2006, slowly realizes he is trapped inside a wooden coffin, buried alive. With his cigarette lighter, he can see the trap he is in, and he quickly realizes that there's not enough air for him to live long. He finds within the coffin a working cellphone, which allows him contact with the outside world. But the outside world proves not to be very helpful at finding a man buried in a box in the middle of the Iraqi desert. Paul must rely on his best resource--himself.

Did You Know?
Trivia | Ryan Reynolds stated that he suffered from claustrophobia towards the end of filming (much like the character he is playing). This was mainly due to the fact the coffin he was in was gradually filled with more and more sand as filming went on. He describes the last day of shooting as "unlike anything I experienced in my life, and I never ever want to experience that again." See more » |
Goofs | During the scene when Dan Brenner asks Paul Conroy how much battery life the mobile phone has remaining, Paul pulls the mobile phone away from his face and reveals that he is holding the phone upside down against his face, with the microphone and keyboard at his ear, and with the screen and speaker towards his mouth. After reporting battery life to Dan, Paul proceeds to hold the upside-down phone back to his ear with incorrect top/bottom orientation. See more » |

Crazy Credits | After the end credits, we're shown a shot of the top of the inside of the coffin, the camera panning down slightly, but it stops soon after. So, the ending remains the same. See more » |

It's over, isn't it? Dan Brenner: No! [long pause] Dan Brenner: Yeah. See more » |
