How much
blood would you shed to stay alive ?
A young man named Adam (LEIGH WHANNELL) wakes to find himself
chained to a rusty pipe inside a decrepit subterranean chamber.
Chained to the
opposite side of the room is another bewildered captive, Dr. Lawrence Gordon
(CARY ELWES). Between them is a dead man lying in a pool of blood, holding a .38
in his hand. Neither man knows why he has been abducted, but instructions left
on a microcassette order Dr. Gordon to kill Adam within eight hours.
If he fails
to do so, then both men will die; Dr. Gordon’s wife, Alison (MONICA POTTER), and
his daughter will also be killed. Recalling a recent murder investigation by a
police detective named Tapp (DANNY GLOVER), Dr. Gordon realizes he and Adam are
the next victims of a psychopathic genius known only as ’Jigsaw’.
With only a
few hours left to spare, they must unravel the elaborate puzzle of their fate in
the midst of mounting terror.
The killer has provided them with only a few clues
and two handsaws - too weak to break their steel shackles, but strong enough to
cut through flesh and bone...
