Phone Booth

CrimeDramaThriller81 min

A slick New York publicist answers a ringing phone in a Manhattan booth and is told that if he hangs up, he dies. Colin Farrell is Stu Shepard, suddenly trapped in plain sight as an unseen caller backs up the threat with the red dot of a sniper’s laser sight. Kiefer Sutherland is the voice on the other end, cool and relentless, while Katie Holmes and Radha Mitchell are among the people pulled into the standoff. Joel Schumacher keeps the action locked inside and around a single city block, turning one phone call into a public unraveling.
