170,000 SQ miles of desert. 90 minutes of Oxygen. No way out.
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is a fairly average, American truck driver, he works as a contractor in Iraq and leads a fairly average life, he doesn’t know what’s about to hit him!
While working his usual deliveries he is taken hostage, knocked unconscious and awakens in a deep, dark coffin! He soon realises he is in real trouble. With little oxygen, a lighter and a mobile phone to help him, he tries whatever he can to escape his terrifying tomb.
Paul contacts everyone he knows that could possibly help him, but to no avail; he could be buried anywhere in an enormous Iraqi desert. Paul realises that only one man can help him out of this impossible situation; himself! He’d better do it fast!

Yep, but these days people seem to love pan & scan as long as they are watching it in IMAX :smiley:

I really enjoyed it but don't think it's worth a re-watch.

Avoid. Wrong ratio. UK edition is a mess.

If I remember they extracted the 16:9 image from the original's 2.39:1. So huge amount of visual information was lost.

I'm trying to work out if he gets buried, or of he is abducted by unicorn aliens that took a real dislike to his portrayal of the Green Lantern.

i loved this when i saw it at the cinema - only me and another person in there so it was quiet enough to get totally immersed in the story.
