Panic Room
2002
Crime, Drama, Thriller
Trapped in their New York brownstone’s panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman and her young daughter Sarah play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders – Burnham, Raoul and Junior – during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.
The action takes place in a house, but the intensity tops many bigger budget thrillers. That’s what happens when a simple-looking script is given to professional hands.
