THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Push a red button on a little black box, get a million bucks cash. Just like that, all of Norma and Arthur Lewis's financial problems will be over. But there's a catch, according to the strange visitor (Frank Langella) who placed the box on the couple's doorstep. Someone somewhere - someone they don't know - will die.
    Cameron Diaz and James Marsden play a couple confronted by agonizing temptation yet unaware they're already part of an orchestrated and - for them and us - mind blowing chain of events. "Somebody pushing your buttons?" a woman asks. From filmmaker Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko and a short story by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) comes a gripping sci-fi mystery thriller that pushes 'em right.
