Synopsis

At a school reunion dinner in a remote country mansion, a dozen people are offered the chance to collect a million pounds each. The only catch is that they must all remain on the estate - cut off from the outside world - for 96 hours.

As events begin to conspire against them, can they stay united, or will they turn on each other and lose the cash?

12 in a Box is a tightly orchestrated comedy which barely pauses for breath as it heads towards a 'Will-they-or-won't-they-succeed?' climax.

With deaths, sexual intrigue, kidnapping and spiralling levels of farce and confusion, the film follows in the best traditions of British black comedy.
