Phone Booth

Phone Booth is a 2002 American suspense-thriller about a man who is held hostage in a telephone booth by a sniper.

Plot:
Stu is an agent for people wanting to get famous in New York city. You see him and think he's all high and mighty, like he is the greatest person on earth, but truth be told, his life isn't so glamourous. He enters a phone booth to call one of his clients - who he is using to cheat on his wife with - and they flirt a bit. Then, as Stu gets out of the phone booth, it rings. Stu of course answers it and is stuck in the game of an insane sniper. A ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?

The budget for this film is a seriously low budget film but it isnt a massive hollywood high spending. It is interesting to see where the money was spent as the majority of the film was spent in a phone booth.
