Paul Conroy is an American truck driver who leads a convoy on a major assignment
through Iraq. Without warning, his convoy is the target of a vicious attack by
unknown assailants. When he comes to, he finds himself in a desperate, horrifyingly
surreal predicament. He has been buried alive in a wooden coffin with only a cell
phone, a lighter, and ninety minutes worth of oxygen. He is informed, via his cell
phone, that if he will only be unearthed if he produces a one million dollar ransom
for his own life. With little mobility and even further limited options, Conroy must
find a way to escape the box or suffer the worst of fates.
Buried is not a film for the claustrophobic at heart. It is the communication
of one our most basic of human fears and is sure to awaken some familiar
nightmares. The terror of being buried alive is as old and universal as any
concept to be explored by a horror film. From ancient Egyptian mythology to
Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The Premature Burial, we as a people have been
fascinated and petrified at the idea of finding ourselves in Conroy’s shoes.
Buried is a marvel of filmmaking. The fact that the film takes place primarily in
a singular locale requires so much not only of the actor playing the character
in peril, but also of the writers who must construct an increasingly compelling
plot to compensate for such a limiting, close quarters locale. Luckily Ryan
Reynolds, who has proven his range and dedication to his craft countless
times, once again rises to the challenge and turns in a spectacular, staggeringly
intimate performance as the unfortunate protagonist.
