Full Synopsis:
A phone call can change your life, but for one man it can also end it. Set entirely within and around the confines of a New York City phone booth, this thriller follows Stu Shepard, a low-rent media consultant who is trapped after being told by a caller – a serial killer with a sniper rifle – that he’ll be shot dead if he hangs up. A sudden and shocking act of violence near the booth draws the attention of the police, who arrive backed with a small army of sharpshooters. They believe that Stu, not the unseen caller of whom they remain unaware, is the dangerous man with a gun. The senior officer on the scene, Captain Ramey, tries to talk Stu out of the booth. But unbeknownst to Ramey, his team, the media circus that has flocked to the site – and Stu’s wife, Kelly, and his client/prospective girlfriend, Pamela – the caller has them all in his high-powered rifle sights. As afternoon turns into evening, Stu, the embodiment of an unethical, self-serving existence, must now undertake a sudden and unexpected moral evolution. He is emotionally stripped naked by the caller. Stu’s lies, half-truths, and obfuscation no longer matter. Instead, he must dig deep into his soul, find his strength and attempt to outwit the caller, taking the game to an even more dangerous level.

Trivia:
The shot of Katie Holmes in the restaurant was filmed between takes when the actress was resting, the director liked the look so he added it in.

The movie was originally set to be released on 15 November 2002. However, after the sniper attacks in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., 20th Century Fox decided to delay the release of the film.

All scenes were shot in order as they happened.

SPOILER: The original ending was that Stu would step out of the phone booth and start firing up at the windows. Then after Stu lets off 2 shots, the Rubber bullet from one of the snipers hits him, he goes down. Ramey steps into the phone booth to get the receiver, hearing on the other line, the SWAT team coming in the door, and wounding the “voice.” The Script ends when Ramey wants a final statement from the Voice and he says, (directing to Stu) “But you’ll never forget me. I gave you the most thrilling day of your life. Say thanks.” Then he dies.
