Description

What if someone gave you a box containing a button that, if pushed, would bring you a million dollars…but simultaneously take the life of someone you don’t know? Would you do it? And what would be the consequences? The year is 1976. Norma Lewis is a teacher at a private high school and her husband, Arthur, is an engineer working at NASA. They are, by all accounts, an average couple living a normal life in the suburbs with their young son…until a mysterious man with a horribly disfigured face appears on their doorstep and presents Norma with a life-altering proposition: the box. With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face an impossible moral dilemma. What they don’t realize is that no matter what they decide, terrifying consequences will have already been set in motion. They soon discover that the ramifications of this decision are beyond their control and extend far beyond their own fortune and fate.

    Ignore the negative reviews. If you are college educated, introspective, and enjoy a good thriller, this movie won't disappoint. Yeas, there is an element of si-fi.... But it is bigger than that. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, enjoy.
  • Great movie

    How do you go from the masterpiece that is "Button, Button" by James Mattheson to this garbage is beyond me, but I can guarantee that if they stuck to the source material it would have resulted in a better film. No if's, and's or but's about it. Avoid at all costs.
