Plot points
1
Meg Altman and her daughter, Sarah, meet with a real estate broker to look at large brownstone apartment.
We learn Meg is looking for a new place to live because she has recently broken up with her rich husband.
The broker shows them the panic room.
Meg and Sarah move in. Over pizza we realize Meg and Sarah have been emotionally distant since Meg's marriage broke up.
Three intruders break into the house and realize someone has moved in earlier than they expected.
Meg wakes up to go to the bathroom and notices the closed-circuit TV screens are on in the panic room. When she goes to turn them
off, she sees the three intruders.
Meg dashes to Sarah's room. They are trapped by the intruders.
They rush to the elevator and start to descend, but when the intruders make it to the bottom before they do, Sarah tells her to head for
the panic room.
The intruders run after them.
Meg and Sarah make it into the panic room just in time.
The secure phone line is disconnected. They're stuck.
Meg realizes she has no insulin for Sarah. If she doesn't get insulin, Sarah will die.

Central question: Will Meg and her daughter survive to make it out of the panic room?

Via intercom, Meg tells the intruders she has called the police and they are on their way.
The intruders tell her they know she doesn't have a phone. They tell her that what they want is in the panic room.

She's adamant. She's not letting them in.

If Meg won't let them in, and they won't leave, then they'll make it impossible for her to leave. It's only a matter of time before their
stalemate erodes.

Meg and Sarah find supplies in the panic room. They might be able to stay awhile
The intruders start bashing at the walls, trying to get through. Meg and Sarah won't be safe for long.

Burnham finds a gas bottle. He pipes gas through a vent, trying to choke them out.

Meg finds a lighter and ignites the gas, launching the gas bottle across the room. Junior is badly burned.Sarah finds a powerful
flashlight. She shines the light through the ventilation tube, into the neighbor's bedroom. She turns the light off and on several times.
The neighbor wakes up.
But the neighbor just closes the blinds and goes back to sleep. Sarah feels the situation is hopeless.

While the intruders argue over money, Meg makes a run for her phone in the bedroom.
She drops the phone and breaks a light. The intruders dash back to the room.

Meg makes it back in the nick of time. She makes a call...

...but there's no signal inside the panic room.
