In 2006, Paul Conroy, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, finds himself in a horrifying predicament as he wakes up confined within a wooden coffin. Armed only with a Zippo lighter, a pen, and a BlackBerry phone, he slowly recalls the traumatic events leading to his entrapment. The nightmare began when he and several others were ambushed by terrorists, leaving him unconscious after being struck by a rock. As Paul navigates the darkness of his confinement, he desperately attempts to reach out for help by calling 911 from Youngstown, Ohio. However, he encounters skepticism from the FBI in Chicago and apathy from his employer, all of whom dismiss his harrowing account.
