Line 3:
[[Ryan Reynolds]] plays Paul Conroy, a US Contractor in Iraq. After an attack on his convoy, he awakens in a coffin with no idea how he got there. He has only a cell phone and a lighter, and starts to make frantic calls as he tries to remember what had happened to him and why this is happening to him now.
'''''Buried''''' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2010 and has generated mainly positive reviews.

* [[Fingore]]
* [[
* [[Flash Back]]: surprisingly averted, while most of the viewers expect to see some flashbacks to mix up a bit the constant scenes with just the wooden box and Ryan in it, the movie never actually leaves the box.

Line 28:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Especially if you're claustrophobic.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]
* [[Orange
* [[Plot Induced Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|Several cases. Paul's kidnappers initially not telling him about the bag at the foot of the coffin (and indeed placing it in such a difficult place to begin with), despite obviously wanting him to use it. Also, leaving Paul a zippo (which would burn up oxygen, cutting Paul's life expectancy short and leaving the kidnappers less time to get their ransom), when they also left him a torch. Also the silver hip flask which, in normal circumstances, would also most likely be looted}} .
* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]}}
