[edit] Plot
Set in 2006 in Iraq, Paul Conroy, a US truck driver, awakens buried alive with only a Zippo and a mobile phone. [7] Although he initially has no idea as to how he got there, he soon starts to piece together what has happened to him.[8] Gradually, Paul remembers that he and several other convoys were ambushed by insurgents, then all the other truck drivers were killed shortly before he blacked out. After finding the cellphone, Paul attempts to get into contact with his wife and his employers (who gave him a safety number if anything like this should occur) but is able only to leave a message for both of them. Paul is able to get into contact with the FBI, but they cut off before he can explain the situation. However, he is able to determine from the questions the FBI official asked him that he has been kidnapped. The kidnapper contacts him and demands a ransom of $5m to be released alive, but this is then lowered to $1m.
Paul eventually gets into contact with his employers, who pass him onto a group set up in 2004 specifically made to find people who have been kidnapped. While the man who is trying to find Paul tells him that they are doing their best, Paul is not convinced and asks the man to name a person who they have saved before. He claims they saved a man known as Mark White three weeks ago. After a long time of trying to get help, the kidnapper forces him to make a ransom video, which he refuses to do. The kidnapper threatens to kill his family (as he reveals the details of where they live), and Paul reluctantly agrees to do the video. He receives a phone call from his employers, who inform him that he was fired from his job that morning due to fraternizing with another female employee (though Paul says the relationship was strictly professional) and so if he dies, his family will not get any insurance money. He then receives a video from the kidnapper of the female employee he knew being shot dead, causing him to feel incredibly guilty and to vomit.
Shortly afterwards, there is a violent shaking in the coffin, and sand starts to leak into the coffin. The government group calls Paul and explains that some planes just bombed the area the coffin is in even though they knew he was in the area (they were able to roughly pin down his location,but not exactly). The stress becomes too great and Paul momentarily considers slitting his own throat with the knife, but he stops after thinking about his family. The sand starts to leak in at a considerably larger degree and Paul begins to lose all hope and does a last will and testament in video form, giving his son all of his clothes and his wife all of his personal savings ($700). As time goes on (with nobody planning to pay the ransom), the kidnapper calls demanding blood and tells Paul to cut his finger off and send a recording of it. In return, his family will not be harmed, and he will tell the US government where Paul is. With this, Paul complies, cutting his finger off and sending the video.
Within a few minutes, the government official phones Paul saying they now know where he is, explaining that they were given the details of where to find a man who was buried alive by an insurgent. Paul receives a phone call from his wife and tells her he is going to be okay, and they express their love for each other. A few minutes later, he gets a call from the rescue group saying that they are close and have found his location. They arrive to the apparent burial site and are about to dig up the coffin. Through the phone, digging is heard, but Paul cannot hear it. The sand begins to fill the coffin to deadly levels, giving Paul seconds left. However, when the group digs up the coffin, they realize that it was the coffin of Mark White. As Paul begins to be suffocated under the sand, the man tells Paul, "I am so sorry, Paul. I am so sorry."
