Plot summary
Alone at a club in Brooklyn one evening, print model Jennifer Tree is drugged and abducted. Her face is known from magazine covers and billboards, and her popularity has given her the life she wants. She comes to in a cell that holds items taken from her apartment. She is shown videos of people tortured in that room, and recordings of her own interviews are played back to her. When she calls out to be freed, no one answers, and her captor subjects her to psychological torture. In the adjoining cell she finds Gary Dexter, another prisoner, and the two look for a way out of the chamber.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Captivity (2007)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- After the film screened at the 2006 Sitges Film Festival, After Dark Films founder Courtney Solomon re-edited it to add more gore and violence, believing it would boost box office the way Hostel had, but it flopped anyway and he later admitted, 'It's overkill. I think audiences have said, "I've had enough."'
- Joss Whedon became the public face of a movement pressing the MPAA to remove the film's rating, under guidelines saying that a film advertised with material the MPAA has not approved may forfeit its right to be rated.
- The MPAA ruled on 28 March 2007 that, as punishment, it would not consider rating the film until at least 30 April, making an 18 May release less likely, and in an unprecedented move required approval of all forthcoming advertisements.
