BURIED (Spain/USA/France-2010) is the sad and frightening story of Paul Conroy, a truck driver sent to Iraq by his contractor employer to help with that country's rebuilding. After a group of Iraqis kill some of his friends, Paul is captured and knocked unconscious. He awakens in a totally dark place, fumbles around and finds his lighter, an old-fashioned metal one. Paul soon realizes he's been imprisoned in a wooden box, and since its walls can't be budged, he must be buried alive! Rage and panic quickly set in. An Iraqi calls, issues a 9 PM deadline for his release upon receipt of a $5 million ransom. Paul begs to be freed from his tomb right now but is refused. His captors have supplied him with two glow sticks, a faulty flashlight, the cellphone, and a pen kife. On him he's got a small flask of alcohol and a bottle of anti-anxiety pills. Both soon come in handy. The cellphone's battery is at half-power. Somehow in the next two hours he must negotiate with the terrorist who keeps calling and demanding money, plus reach the U.S. State Dept., his wife, his elderly mom and a local hostage negotiator. Time, air, battery and hope steadily run out. As things become desperate, the captor's demands get more bizarre. A phone call from the company he works for is the final insult. When bombs explode aboveground, Paul's coffin springs a leak. Will help arrive before he chokes to death on the sand that's filling his small space?
