Ok, all of us are driven insane by the amount of cellular phones in our society today. From that guy who is constantly on the phone while driving, to the mother who is screaming into her phone as she walks down the grocery store aisle, people just don’t realize how much they use their phones and how much they disturb people around them. Well what if contacting one of these crazies was your only hope at living?

Cellular is a 2004 suspense thriller, directed by David R. Ellis and starring Kim Basinger, Chris Evans and Jason Statham.

The screenplay was written by Chris Morgan and Larry Cohen, the latter having also scripted Phone Booth, another movie that evolves from a phone call.

SYNOPSIS
A thin thread of electronic data may be the only thing that can save a women and her family in this thriller.

Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) is a biology teacher who is kidnapped by Ethan (Jason Statham), a vicious criminal who has threatened to murder her husband and son if he doesn't get what he wants.

Ethan destroys the only working telephone in the cabin where she's held, but Jessica manages to put enough of the pieces together to send out a call that's picked up by Ryan (Chris Evans), a college student, on his cellular phone.

Jessica manages to convince Ryan of the gravity of her situation, but she has no idea of where she's being held, leaving his cell phone as the only link to her whereabouts -- and his batteries are starting to wear out.
