Buried (2010)
Movie
Released
A mobile phone becomes a terrible substitute for physical help when a civilian contractor wakes inside a coffin. Ryan Reynolds has to negotiate with people whose promises cannot be checked, while reception and battery power turn delay into a material threat. The confined frame makes bureaucratic distance feel brutally personal. This is the most punishing option here: the premise offers no regular escape into a reassuring outside viewpoint.

About Buried
As an American civilian truck driver working in Iraq, Paul Conroy's convoy is attacked by a group of Iraqi insurgents. Some time later, Paul awakes in a coffin with only a lighter, a cell phone, and his ever-growing anxiety. Faced with a dwindling oxygen supply and a dying battery, he must fight panic, despair, and delirium as he races against time to escape the claustrophobic death trap.
