Description:

"The Box" delves into the complexities of morality as it follows the story of suburban couple Norma and Arthur Lewis who become entangled in a life-altering experiment involving a peculiar wooden box. The mysterious stranger who gifts the box informs them that pressing its button will grant them one million dollars, but at the same time, an anonymous individual somewhere in the world will lose their life. With the box needing to be kept for only 24 hours, Norma and Arthur are forced to confront a disquieting moral dilemma as they grapple with their own humanity and the weight of taking another person's life, all in the name of financial gain. This provocative drama questions our innate values and pushes its characters - and viewers - to contemplate what they would do under such extraordinary circumstances.
