THE BOX (2009)
SYNOPSIS
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. --©
