What happens in Saw V from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film kicks off with Seth, portrayed by Joris Jarsky, trapped in a deadly pendulum mechanism. It soon emerges that Seth is a murderer, having been released from prison early due to a legal technicality. A puppet, symbolic of Jigsaw, presents Seth with an ultimatum: to rescue himself, he must destroy the tools of his murderous trade—his own hands. Although the trap appears to offer a chance of survival, it is ultimately revealed to be unwinnable. Seth believes he must press buttons in two separate devices, which will crush his hands simultaneously before the descending pendulum, meant to bisect him, finalizes its grim task.
