The directorial debut from filmmaker
James Wan, this
psychological thriller comes from the first screenplay by actor
Leigh Whannell, who also stars.
Whannell plays
Adam, one of two men chained up in a mysterious chamber. The other,
Dr. Gordon (
Cary Elwes), like
Adam, has no idea how either of them got there. Neither of them are led to feel optimistic by the man lying between them dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Together,
Adam and
Dr. Gordon attempt to piece together what has happened to them and who the sadistic madman behind their imprisonment is. Also starring
Danny Glover and
Monica Potter,
Saw premiered at the
2004 Sundance Film Festival.
