A man is caught in a very desperate race against time during this claustrophobic thriller from director Rodrigo Cort?s. Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is an American truck driver who has been contracted to figure in Iraq, and while delivering a load of kitchen equipment as half of a humanitarian aid program, he’s captured by insurgent guerrillas who intend to carry him hostage. Paul is struck unconscious, put into a coffin-like box, and buried, and when he involves, all he has to assist him get out could be a lighter, a mobile phone, a pen, and a jackknife. Trapped underground with a limited supply of air, Paul frantically calls his family, his employer, and American military and political representatives, making an attempt to stay calm as his chances of survival slip farther away with every passing minute. That includes the voice talent of Robert Paterson, Stephen Tobolowsky, Samantha Mathis, and Erik Palladino, with all the action taking place inside the underground box, Buried received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
