help Buried FAQ
Is Paul Conroy trapped in Cairo in Buried?
No. Paul is an American civilian truck driver working in Iraq when he is kidnapped and buried in a wooden coffin. The action remains inside that coffin rather than taking place in a Cairo shipping container.
Does Buried ever show the outside rescue operation?
The camera stays with Paul inside the coffin for the entire film. Other characters are heard through his mobile phone, so the audience can never independently verify what rescuers or officials tell him.
What items does Paul have inside the coffin?
His most important tools are a mobile phone and a lighter, supplemented by a few small items left with him. The phone connects him to his kidnapper, his employer, emergency services, and a hostage-response official.
How did director Rodrigo Cortés film Ryan Reynolds in such a confined space?
Cortés used several coffin sets with movable walls and different camera configurations. Reynolds spent much of the shoot physically enclosed, while lighting from the phone, lighter, and other sources marked changes in Paul's situation.
