Saw VI Plot Summary

What happens in Saw VI 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 begins in a familiar Saw fashion, as a woman, portrayed by Tanedra Howard, regains consciousness in a dimly lit room with a terrifying trap affixed to her head. This device is a headset equipped with two bolts positioned at her temples, threatening to drill into her brain if triggered. Nearby, separated by an unyielding fence, an overweight man is waking up with a similar device clamped on him. As the woman attempts to regain control amidst the chaos, the man succumbs to fear and inadvertently activates Jigsaw’s signature recorded message. In a chilling address, Jigsaw lays blame on both for their part in medical insurance crimes—specifically, the denial of policies and claims for profit.
