Three intruders’ intervention; Panic Room 2002
Meg is trying to sleep but can’t because of her divorce. Meg gets off from her bed to pee and then suddenly her eyes get stuck into CCTV footage. She sees some strangers in her house who are trying to go upstairs. Meg rushes out of the room and reaches out to her daughter. The robs chase them but can’t catch them before they hide themselves in the panic room.
One of them whose name is Burnham was in the construction of the house when it was made. So he knows that there is no way to get there. The desperate one’s name is Raoul among three robbers. He tries to break the walls but in the end he fails because there is steel outside the room. Burnham finds out an idea. He takes in a gas cylinder and connects that with the panic room’ ventilator.
Meg and Sarah suddenly begin to feel suffocated, they don’t understand what is happening. Meg reaches out to the ventilator and inhales something bad. Burnham just wants to scare them but that Raoul supplies more gas for them to pass out. The other two try to stop him but he doesn’t listen. At first, Meg tries to seal the ventilator with duct tape but it gets impaled.
Then being desperate to survive, Meg takes a gaslight and ignites it into the ventilation area. The whole area gets inflamed. Raoul gets burnt at the hands’ area. The panic room provides some basic needs, so she easily gets a torch and she points the torch into that hole to wake a neighbour up. They frequently light the torch up to make a Morse code which Sarah learned from the movie Titanic.
Raoul and the leader make themselves apart to make a deal for Raoul’s demand of one third of the money. Raoul and Burnham still don’t know the real amount of money. When three of them get into one room and the bedroom gets empty. Meg notices that and takes the chance. She comes out fugitively but when she is about to touch the phone, the table lamp falls down making noise.
Junior decides to quit and offers them some money. He accidentally tells the real amount while offering them money. They charge him for that but he doesn’t care. When he is about to leave Raoul shoots him. In the meantime, Meg’s husband Stephen arrives there and Raoul plans to use him to make Meg and Sarah come out of the room. Raoul beats him continuously but they are holding onto themselves.
On the other hand Sarah begins to have seizures because of her diabetes.
Meg notices her husband lying unconsciously on her bed, coming out of the room. She goes to the fridge to take insulin shots. Here is the thing, the man lying on her bed is actually Raoul wearing her husband’s overcoat so he easily gets into the panic room. She rushes into the door hastily and passes the insulin shot into the room. Meg begs them to give her an insulin shot.
Panic Room Ending Explained:
Burnham starts to dig the floor with a heavy construction machine to make a hole and get out from there. At some moment Sarah notices that her mother is breaking all the surveillance cameras. She moves off the insulin shot. Raoul follows Sarah’s eyes, and can’t understand what Meg is doing.
Meg puts the gun into his husband’s lap and hides herself. When they come out with Sarah, Stephen orders them to let Sarah go. In the meantime, Meg hits Raoul with the hammer and he falls off. Burnham tries to escape, but when he hears the scream of Sarah, he returns and shoots Raoul and saves them.
Memorable quotes and dialogues of Panic Room 2002:
‘If there is something you want to say to us but maybe you can’t say it right now, you might want to make some kind of a signal blinking your eyes a few times.’
Opening the door, Meg was telling the cops her ‘divorce and drunk’ story. She was trying to make them leave but the cop understands clearly she is under pressure and telling lies then they stated it to help her.
‘I wish I could have put my kid in a place like this.
This huge townhouse is made of brownstone and it requires luck to get to live in such a house. Burnham was kind hearted. He expressed his desire to keep his child in a place like this.
Why did those three robbers break in?
One of em’s name is Junior, a grumpish young man who is the grandson of the previous owner who came to rob the money. Another one is Burnham who works as an employee of home’s security company. This man is kind of ethical because he doesn’t want to kill anybody. The last one who is Raoul is a random thug with a gun. But he is dangerous as hell and the most cruel one.
How does Meg manage to make a phone call after cutting off all the lines?
When the robbers see that Meg takes her phone to make a call and when they realise she is making a connection between the landline and the main line. They realise Junior cut only the cord of the phone in the kitchen, he didn’t cut the main line. That’s how Meg manages to make a call.
