We couldn't find definitions for the word you were looking for.
Or maybe the current language is not supported

  • 00:18

    The film begins with a scene that shows a man awakens from his unconsciousness.

  • 00:23

    If you look closely, this man looks like he just had an accident.

  • 00:28

    He also looked around but there was no light at all.

  • 00:33

    In other words, he and his car were buried in the ground.

  • 00:36

    Well, you can imagine how it feels to wake up in the dark like this.

  • 00:41

    The car doors also couldn't be opened at all because they were blocked by the mass of soil.

  • 00:46

    In a panic, he tried to call 911, but his cellphone signal was also not connected at

  • 00:51

    all.

  • 00:55

    Likewise with the radio in the car.

  • 00:57

    He tried to search for frequency bands, but still nothing was detected.

  • 01:02

    Then, he tried to start the car engine, but it turned out that the car that was protecting

  • 01:06

    him couldn't start alias broke down.

  • 01:09

    Not long after, there was a shake that caused the car to move deeper and deeper.

  • 01:14

    He assumed that if there was a shake like this, it meant he wasn't buried in the flat

  • 01:18

    ground.

  • 01:19

    He also recorded himself as a form of information in case he was not saved.

  • 01:24

    Feelings of pessimism and resignation to the situation of course fell on him, who did not

  • 01:29

    know what to do.

  • 01:30

    He hopes that soon the rescue team will find out about this incident as soon as possible.

  • 01:35

    At that time, the clock showed 1 pm, which should still be possible for him to be saved.

  • 01:40

    While drawing his route, he tried to remember what happened.

  • 01:44

    At first everything was fine on the trip.

  • 01:47

    But there was one incident that suddenly happened to him which caused him to got buried there.

  • 01:53

    Then he noticed something: his car's sunroof had begun to crack as a result of the immense

  • 01:58

    soil pressure.

  • 01:59

    Of course this is not a good thing since he can only stay in the car and couldn’t go anywhere.

  • 02:05

    Even the car's air conditioning can only release dust.

  • 02:09

    Red ants also started getting into his car through the aircond hole.

  • 02:14

    Therefore, he taped the aircond hole quickly to prevent

  • 02:17

    the more ants from entering the car.

  • 02:19

    After that, he became even more panicked because there is still no sign that he will be saved.

  • 02:25

    In a state of resignation to the situation, he also watched the video recording on his

  • 02:30

    cellphone.

  • 02:31

    In the video, you can see his fiancé, Laurie.

  • 02:34

    And from here, it was discovered that this man's name was Jack.

  • 02:38

    After that, he plans to just sleep while saving his cellphone battery.

  • 02:43

    Long story short, Jack had woken up from his sleep and he realized that it was already

  • 02:48

    8 pm.

  • 02:49

    It means he's been waiting underground for about 8 hours.

  • 02:52

    But there's still no sign of help to come.

  • 02:56

    Jack, who was getting more and more congested, tried to find an opening so he could breathe.

  • 03:01

    When he opened the car window, all the dirt outside spilled and went inside.

  • 03:06

    The texture of the soil that polluted him was still wet and soft.

  • 03:09

    From this, it is certain that the incident that happened to him was a landslide.

  • 03:14

    On the other hand, the cracks on his car's roof seem to be getting wider.

  • 03:18

    Then, Jack immediately patched the glass with a

  • 03:21

    tape he found in his car.

  • 03:23

    He used the steering lock to withstand the soil's pressure.

  • 03:29

    Fortunately, Jack's method works well.

  • 03:32

    He just had one bottle of mineral water in his car as a source of water.

  • 03:36

    Without realizing it, Jack drank all the water until it ran out.

  • 03:40

    He was so thirsty that he forgot it was the only source of water he had at the time.

  • 03:45

    As the time went on, only a miracle can bring him safe.

  • 03:49

    As a result, Jack took the time to pray right then and there.

  • 03:52

    When he finished, he realized that just praying was not enough, but he also had to do his

  • 03:57

    best to get out from there.

  • 03:59

    Then, Jack checked the backseat of his car and saw a lot of stuff he could use.

  • 04:03

    In a situation like this, he should be able to do something as much as possible with the

  • 04:07

    tools he has.

  • 04:09

    The first thing Jack did was drink the water dripping from the soil.

  • 04:12

    He didn't care anymore what the mixture was made of.

  • 04:15

    Then he also purposefully made a small hole in the glass while collecting the dripping

  • 04:19

    water with an empty drinking water bottle.

  • 04:23

    It was so bad that Jack who needed to pee, had no choice but to pee in his own car.

  • 04:28

    Then, he used parts from the folding chair to make some iron tube.

  • 04:33

    At that moment, Jack make another hole in the sunroof in his car with a small knife,

  • 04:38

    with the aim that the iron tube could penetrate all the way to the top.

  • 04:41

    To keep the tube straight, Jack took a bottle cap and punch a hole in it and tied it with

  • 04:46

    rope.

  • 04:48

    However, the hunger that attacked Jack's stomach forced him to eat first.

  • 04:52

    Even though he only have a biscuit, it still means a lot in this situation.

  • 04:56

    For drinking, he only relies on water mixed with soil that he has accomodated.

  • 05:01

    After he finished eating, Jack immediately pushed the tube slowly through the soil.

  • 05:06

    All the tubes he had were tied together with ropes so they could penetrate the soil.

  • 05:11

    The oxygen levels were running low causing he couldn't take it anymore, so Jack had to

  • 05:16

    make a hole in order to breathe.

  • 05:18

    It's getting harder and harder to push the tube through to the surface.

  • 05:22

    Even in a weak and hungry condition, Jack had to keep exerting as much energy as possible.

  • 05:27

    After that, he immediately checked the depth level with the iron wire he had.

  • 05:32

    It turned out that the distance between the ground and Jack's position was approximately

  • 05:36

    3 meters, then he shouted as loudly as possible in the hope that someone would hear his voice.

  • 05:42

    At the same time, he also breathe through that hole.

  • 05:45

    Then, Jack had the idea of making this tube function as a chimney.

  • 05:49

    With the aim that the smoke that comes out of the ground will be seen by others.

  • 05:52

    However, the fire that Jack made with paper got out of control.

  • 05:57

    But fortunately, the fire was still able to be extinguished as quickly as possible.

  • 06:02

    When Jack wanted to peek through the hole he made, suddenly there was a shake, and Jack's

  • 06:07

    head hit the iron.

  • 06:10

    Not long after, Jack had woken up with his wounded head.

  • 06:13

    At that moment, he took off his shirt and belt as a bandage to stop the bleeding.

  • 06:19

    Due to the heavy bleeding, Jack could only sit limply thinking of ways to survive.

  • 06:25

    A few hours later, the wound on Jack's head was visible oozing pus.

  • 06:29

    Well, it's obvious that the wound on his head was infected.

  • 06:33

    But then there was another shake, and the back of the car started to collapse.

  • 06:37

    Jack had no choice but to use the remaining tube to hold the back of his car.

  • 06:43

    Then, Jack who was too thirsty was finally willing to take his own urine as a source

  • 06:48

    of minerals.

  • 06:49

    There's no more disgust when it's like this.

  • 06:52

    He doesn't care no matter how it feels like, the important thing is that his thirst can

  • 06:55

    be overcome.

  • 06:56

    The remaining biscuit crumbs were also eaten by Jack.

  • 07:00

    Well, even it's just crumbs, it's still worth it.

  • 07:05

    Then, Jack took a tire and connected it to the pump hose.

  • 07:08

    With the aim that he can keep breathing by relying on the air from the tires.

  • 07:13

    Eventually, Jack planned to dig up the ground above him and try his best to get out from

  • 07:18

    there.

  • 07:19

    He also slathered oil all over his body to keep it slick when it penetrated through the

  • 07:23

    hard soil.

  • 07:25

    This decision was purposefully taken by Jack in order to be able to survive alive.

  • 07:30

    Although he had no idea if this would work or not.

  • 07:35

    In order not to be too tense, Jack still managed to put on some music at that time.

  • 07:40

    At that moment, he smashed the glass on the roof of his car allowing the soil above him

  • 07:44

    to fall.

  • 07:46

    With this, Jack realised he could no longer rely on his car for protection.

  • 07:52

    The soft soil began to harden and was immediately moved by Jack to the back of the car.

  • 07:58

    While carrying the weight of the car tyres, he attempted to slowly dig up the soil.

  • 08:04

    The dug ground began to fall gradually.

  • 08:06

    After a long time of digging, Jack began to be able to stand above of his car.

  • 08:11

    On the other hand, the remaining air in the tires is becoming thinner.

  • 08:15

    Unexpectedly, there was a shake for the umpteenth time, and made Jack's whole body covered by

  • 08:20

    dirt.

  • 08:22

    Amazingly, there is still a slight movement, indicating that Jack is still alive.

  • 08:27

    Come to think of it, it was really hard to survive if being buried like that.

  • 08:32

    But we need to remember, at the beginning of the film, Jack still had time to pray before

  • 08:36

    taking all the actions.

  • 08:38

    After a long time, he managed to reach the ground and began to see sunlight.

  • 08:44

    In the end, he managed to survive and regain his sense of well-being.

  • 08:50

    And the film ended.
