Kidnapped, confused, panicking, buried alive and a lack of oxygen with only a few hours to live!

Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is an American truck driver for a transport company delivering supplies in Iraq. After a bombing, Conroy awakens, confused and trapped inside a wooden casket buried several feet underground.

To view his surroundings, Conroy uses his lighter and hears the vibration of a cell phone. He attempts to contact his family and employer to explain his dilemma, but only gets answering machines. He calls 911, but they do not believe him, so he calls the FBI, who tries to help him. He finds a flashlight and some glow sticks which help him see, as he is writing down phone numbers to call.

He receives a call from his kidnapper telling him that he wants five million dollars for his release, which is later lowered to one million dollars, and wants him to make a ransom video. Conroy reluctantly makes the video after the kidnapper threatens to kill his family and the FBI is upset because it’s all over YouTube.

Things keep getting worse and worse for Conroy; he has an encounter with a snake and when he finally receives a call from his employer’s kidnapping department, they fire him over the phone for being involved in an inter-company relationship, causing his family to not receive any insurance money.
