Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'The Box' is a straightforward sci-fi psychological thriller focused entirely on a high-stakes moral dilemma. There are no substantive connections to the Christmas season in setting, plot, theme, iconography, or resolution. Any mention of holidays would likely be incidental to the 24-hour time frame imposed by the plot."
