“Stuck” is a comedic drama about six different incidents of entrapped New Yorkers, the majority of whom get stuck inside elevators.
It
happens on Christmas Eve after a power outage and those trapped are confined there overnight.
Some
of the confined are in groups, such as concert musicians on their way to
perform a Christmas Eve concert, a surgical team and their patient at the
hospital on the way down from theatre, and five mismatched individuals who
would not under normal circumstances have gelled.
There
was one couple, a shy wallflower and a brash photographer, and another made up
of an employer and the employee he’s just laid off, and then there are two
individuals in solitary confinement, one is a bitter wealthy developer in an
open elevator on a construction site and the other is the van driver who is
trapped in the van that crashed into the sub-station and caused the power
outage.
Unable
to escape they are forced to interact with their fellow captives or confront
their solitude and they are all transformed by the events of their long night
of confinement.
Patrick
Stewart and Gary Cole are the big names in the large talented ensemble cast but
for me Steven John Shepherd as Glen and Shawn Ora Engemann as Nurse Byrnes are
the stars of this Christmas gem.
