Synopsis
Rrrring.... Rrrring..... Rrrring...
What if you received a call on your cell phone from a complete stranger, with the frantic voice on the other end begging you to help save her life? Would you hang up immediately, thinking it's a prank? What if there's even a remote chance the caller is serious and you're their only remaining hope? What would you do?
A simple cell phone ring sets off a high-speed, high-stakes adventure in the action thriller CELLULAR. The film follows an apathetic 20 year-old's transformation from surfing slacker into heroic figure when fate calls on him to save the life of a kidnapped woman, forcing him to race through the streets of Los Angeles in an effort to locate her.
A random wrong number to Ryan (Chris Evans) cell phone sends this young man into a high-stakes race against time to save a woman's life in the action thriller CELLULAR. With no knowledge of Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) other than her hushed, panicked voice on the other end of the tenuous cell phone connection, Ryan is quickly thrown into a world of deception and murder on his frantic search to find and save her. Jessica's life is in his hands, but what is waiting for him on the other side of the line, and what will it cost him to find out?
CELLULAR also features an impressive supporting cast that includes William H Macy, Jason Statham and Noah Emmerich. CELLULAR is directed by David Ellis (FINAL DESTINATION 2) and produced by Dean Devlin (INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE PATRIOT) and Lauren Lloyd from a story by Larry Cohen (PHONE BOOTH).
