- A financially desperate couple receives a box with a button on it and now they have twenty-four hours to decide if pushing it, which would grant them one million dollars but also would cause the death of a person they don't know.

I actually watched one of these movies that were recapped, and sometimes these recaps makes the movie sound better than it actually was, because externalities such as the quality of the acting are isolated.
That's probably why they make those really bad movies right? Because it sounds so good when they read the script and the final result is just bad.
*Hey guys I made an interesting vlog in Russian school if you Don't mind appreciate plz)*
So true
And this movie is horrible.

Family: lives paycheck to paycheck
Also family: Has a corvette, son in private school (even with the discount), NASA employee as a dad, and lives an overly luxurious life
Right?! I was like, something doesn't add up here and it's not the box🤨
Maybe the reason they live paycheck to paycheck is because they spend all of that money on those luxuries.
@@FeCyrineu yup, it’s the American dream you know! Americans have been taken over by consumerism
It's hilarious to me that there's a rich Hollywood script writer out there who thinks that this is what living paycheck to paycheck looks like :'D
In universe, she was probably lying. I mean they murdered someone for a $million.
The most unbelievable part of this is that the husband works at NASA but they live paycheck to paycheck.
The film takes place in 1976. A NASA engineer salary back then was less than the median average of the time.

@@jenniferhamels1176 what are you basing this on Jennifer? I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’ve heard the opposite, but maybe you have better info than me
@Kingston
@Jennifer he's literally driving a Corvette in the next shot.
Don't tell me; in 1976 a Corvette back then was less than the median average of the time.
Most people live paycheck to paycheck due to poor budgeting and poor habits along with a myriad of other factors.
I'm unashamed to admit that Dick Burns made me laugh way too much

You are not alone bro 😂😂

This was a short story some years ago, but it was less convoluted. Basically you'd get the chance to press the button. If you don't press it your life continues normally. If you press it you get money and a random person, who you do not know, would die. Upon delivering the money the owner of the box would take it back and would assure you that the next person he gives it to would be someone who you do not know, implying that if the next person presses the button you will die. That's all there was to it.
Yeah I remember that one. I found it kind of funny.
IIRC, the original short story doesn't have the implication about the next person but the Outer Limits (or Twilight Zone?) adaptation added it.
That would have been cool.
The short story is titled Button Button and is by Richard Matheson.
The 80s reboot of The Twilight Zone has it as an episode and is much better than the movie.
That’s why my initial thought process was to press about 7 billion times in 24 hours. I then realized you could only press it once😂

These recaps are perfect for movies that aren't worth an hour and a half but are worth fifteen minutes.
This one was good
@@justinhunt4767no
I remember watching this one at the cinema and getting kinda annoyed by how illogical the story was. The characters make two crucial decisions over the course of the story: whether to push the button or not and whether to kill the person who pushed the button or not. However since both decisions are linked the entire crime-and-punishment arc falls apart. Either Cameron Diaz's character was the one who made the choice to kill the previous woman who pushed the button, which would make her husband's choice irrelevant OR it was that woman's husband's choice to kill his wife that made Cameron push the button - which means it wasn't really her choice at all and she shouldn't have been punished for it.
I think its just meant to show that pretty much everyone always presses the button so yes it’s technically not a choice one way or another but
@@corbinh5810 there is no but. The decisions are completely seperate
The movie is confusing because it was framed around the box and wether to choose to push the button or not. However the movie isn’t about the decision of wether to choose to push the button, It is wether you are willing to kill someone or not in order to get ahead or maintain your life at the cost of others. The decisions are connected because the victims of the experiment are the ones who choose to kill or destroy another life for their own sake when they didn’t have to and therefore destroyed their goodselves in the process. Only the ones who choose to push the button are the victims of their own actions later. If this still doesn’t quite make sense then take for instance how they didn’t have to kill each other afterwards when their son was disabled. Their tendency for self preservation lead to their own destruction. Therefore everyone who presses the button also ends up dying in their own way. The next people are also carefully selected as likely candidates to press the button as well.
@@carlosfontanez9804 yup makes total sense. They are screwed if they decide to press the button because if they do the next person is going to press the button on them. But they are conditioned to press the button because they are in a desperate situation.
@@RaquellyReacts The problem is they don´t know from the beguining there are more consecuences to their actions. They don´t know they are the next victims. That information is crucial when choosing if press the button or not
One thing that I liked a lot is when Stewart picks up the box from the first family he reminds them he will take it to someone “that they don’t know” since that’s the criteria for who dies. Very foreboding.
you've missed the most important part... they collect the critical number of people pressing the button, then the aliens are wiping out everything, this is something like test, so they will know if humanity will destroy itself later or not... if yes they just do it earlier
Its not about aliens..
@@gusthavo15yearsand98 its about drive, it's about power
if it's a test it's bullshit because I'd press the botton on the grounds of it can't be real then if they give me the money and don't reveal a hidden camera show I'll report them to the cops
@@IamBean334 its about work, and the hours. We take whats ours
@@IamBean334 🤣 that's random af hehe
I remember watching this movie and thinking it was a big ass nosedive. It starts off very interesting, but as soon as they start to dive deeper into the whole Nasa/aliens/undercover employee thing with some stuff in between that may or may not be hallucinations, it starts to rattle apart very quickly. By the time I was an hour into the movie, I had stopped caring how it would go from there.
It did a good job initially grabbing your attention, but it doesn't manage to hold it for very long. At least not for me.
Same here, I think it's because they over complicated the plot with details. It's inspired by Richard Matheson's story, which is more simple and thus more understandable.
It gets very confusing around 60 minutes in, i couldnt keep up.
rich people problems.
The floating water boxes is where it went downhill fast i was like alright now wtf is this it just does not add up.
Steward: *explains the rules*
Me: *presses it 32 more times before he even finishes*
Hehe oh Stephen
after understand the rule u should press more
If this was real life, it would be the world's shortest movie, that guy would be broke in no time, leave it to movies to create drama.
Was this... À référence to the "by the way" series in Dan plan?
@@IDontGotThis you sir, are correct
@@bensonwachira328 yes 100%
The version i saw was much shorter. the wife pushes the button and within a few minutes the guy comes with the payment and collects the box. She asks who died? he replies, “The last person that pressed the button.”
It is then implied that the box will be reset and given to someone who doesn't know you.
That's literally the opposite of random. I would even go so far as to say it's a system.
It's a Twilight zone 1985 Episode. And he doesn't quite say that but that's the basic gist of it.
@@ajspiceExactly!
As far as I remember, when giving the box, the man tells the couple that someone that they don't know will die.
When he later retrieves the box, he tells them that he'll now give it to someone that they don't know.
Something like that.
This was better as the short "Button, Button" from the Twilight Zone (but it's $200,000 instead). And the stipulation is "someone you don't know will die" and then when he collects the box, he just SIMPLY says that he'll give the box "to someone you don't know".
It's far more elegant than this movie.

This channel makes many movies seem a lot better than they actually are. I'd say over 50% of the movies on this channel are actually elevated, and that if you were to actually watch them would realize they're kind of dog shit turn-off-your-brain flicks.
right i usually cant or wouldnt watch most these movies and on top of that u get this persons perspective on certain actions of people!! ones that i wouldnt!
Would you press the button?
No, because there is either a massive catch or it's a load of BS.
Of course theres a catch, it wouldn't be an ethical dilemma without one
... or because a person would die if you did?
@@essennagerry if you don’t see it happen you probably won’t care
@@australium7374 Dude there are billions of people out there who don't know I exist and I would be extremely damn happy if they didn't choose to kill me so by the virtue of empathy of course I won't do such a thing! Imagine you click the button and then after a few years find out who it was and meet their grieving friends and family. Does it really matter if you know or not? You DO know what the tragedy of death and grief is like, there is zero need to know the person personally or know them at all, or take any notice of the death happening. I know the tragedy, pain, suffering, and I know it WILL HAPPEN if I press the button.
@@essennagerry dude wouldn't nobody care about that. if it's not somebody in their family or some close friends that they know majority of people don't really care if some stranger that they don't know dies. So I don't know what you going on about.
The story it was based on was so much better. As it starts similar except that the dad says they shouldn’t do it and leaves to work. Most of the story is the wife deciding what to do she eventually hit the button and right then she gets a call her husband died and the money she was offered(less than a mill in the book) was her husband life insurance. Also in the story she wasn’t disabled and I don’t remember a son her reason for clicking the button was purely selfish.
Now I completely remember; we watched this movie in middle school because we’d read the story beforehand. I was wondering why the teacher randomly made us watch a movie lol
Huh.'
If you know the old classic story, "The Monkey's Paw," this is it, with the serial numbers filed off and a new paint job.
I dunno whether to be impressed or disappointed with Matheson for that.
What’s the name of the book?
@@smartalek180 That's what it reminded me of. Parents wished for a million, their kid dies, they get a million, they want their son back.. they hear banging at the door but do not open it.. and their last wish was for their son to be at peace.
Even a 13 minute recap of this movie seems too long and convoluted. But I’m going to say thank you anyway, as you’ve spared me at least 90 minutes of my life
Mr. Dick Burns? That’s just funny lol
Better rub some ointment on that lmao
thats exactly what i am wondering...
Why is no one talking about that???
xDD
I watched this movie and let me tell you this. It's actually confusing and a little boring, kind of all over the place. This channel makes it sound interesting like it would to other movies, which is actually great because its as entertaining as I did watching the movie xD of course we shouldn't discount watching the movie itselft though! We can still learn and appreciate the qualities of a movie, but also enjoy watching recaps :)
While I love the recaps, this one made me not want to watch the movie. Even with the recap it feels all over the place and kinda pointless and pretentious.
Don't worry, this recap sounds plenty confusing and all over the place.
I didn’t understood the point of the movie in this one. Even with the nice narration.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused 😅
honestly even in this recap it’s still confusing and all over the place. i guess it’s that bad
So from the point that you get this box and you press this button you pretty much sign up both your own family's destruction as well as someone else's
Steward was such a horrifying person..
And the things he did and he will probably continue to do are just too cruel..
Man imagine having to choose between your wife and your son/daughter..the two most important people of your life
If that isn't cruel idk what is..
You know it’s a movie, right?
You opened the box? he came
But remember: You can avoid all this by not pushing the button.
And THAT is the point. You are aware that you will kill a person by pushing it. All the rest that follows is only triggered by this one event.
The only cruel person here is the one pressing the button, because you are willingly killing someone for money only because you doesn't know this person and do not need to see the person die.
Can always make a other kid can always find a other wife . It's what bears do if there not enough food they'll eat the cubs cause you can always make more.
I don't care, I get money
stewert watching me download an autoclicker as he explains how the button works:
"This news greatly distresses her, because her family is already living paycheck to paycheck. Arthur, meanwhile, GOES TO HIS JOB AT NASA"

The movie had such a good premise and idea but the further the movie went on, the more it felt less authentic (sadly)
Watch the Twilight episode with the same premise, much better
@Tom Tim It was done much better in the 1980s New Twilight Zone episode "Button Button " which can be seen on RUclips.
Don't need to tell me twice.. *proceeds to press button 100 times*
🤣🤣🤣
Just hold the Button Down .
That's horrible
If I had the choice between getting money, something that is temporary and pointless in life, to letting someone else live, I’d never press that button, for a life, human or not, is the one thing you have no right to take away from someone.
Money is far from "pointless". We need it to provide food and shelter for ourselves and our family. Are you really telling me you'd let a child rapist live instead of take the money? That you'd let a mosquito live instead of taking the money? If you said "yes" to either of those questions you're either a liar or an idiot.
This story was actually a short story from the 80s revamp of “The Twilight Zone” . I remember watching it in 1985 I believe. I’ll never forget that short as the meaning and message of it was so profound, even for an 11 year old me at that time.
I was looking for this comment. It wasn't The Twilight Zone though, was it? I thought maybe it was Amazing Stories. EDIT: Or maybe The Ray Bradbury Theater?
@@insperatus Ot totally could be. I was thinking perhaps it was amazing stories but you remember that episode right ? At the end when the couple decided to press the button, the man showed up at the door and after he gave them the money said as he told them in the beginning “press the button and you’ll get the money but someone will die, someone you don’t even know” . This was said in the beginning and as he was leaving, she asked where he was going or something like that: and he said along the lines of it will be someone you don’t even know . I’ll never forget that. The couple is left with the horror of knowing that the next person they go to, could, like them, press the button and what if it’s all connected and they are the ones to die? Was the money even worth it then? Very profound indeed.
@@sherryab3964 I remember it indeed! Doesn't the husband open up the box and there is nothing at all inside? It's just an empty wooden box with a button on the outside and nothing connected to it.
I remember!
Was looking for this comment! Can’t believe someone made a movie based of the twzone episode but it was a good one.
Bro the story says they are lving paycheck to paycheck 1:20 when my man is literaly driving a chevorlet corvette

You're asking way too many questions 🤣
@@tekknorat And you just don't know how to see the big picture 🤣
Uh, the two things happened at the exact same time. Either Steward is clairvoyant or he controls human behavior, and we already know he controls human behavior on a massive, massive scale. It's pretty safe to say that nobody involved had any choice at all, and the film is pointless.
@@gsofficial Obviously there is some kind of higher dimensional power in play. The film felt grounded until it went all supernatural Twilight Zone on us. Steward became "something else" when he was struck by lightning. The body of Steward is just a vessel for whatever that "something else" is.

So was the burned guy an alien...or wtf??? I don't get how he's so powerful.

@@DrakeOola good looking out.
This was inspired by a short story by Richard Matheson and had previously been adapted into an episode of the twilight zone, I didn't know they made a movie out of it!
I have watched it, early 90's ?
@@CFH1962 Much earlier. I saw a black and white version of this story from the original Twilight Zone. I think the 90's rehashed alot of the original versions.
I was going to say the same thing. It was a much shorter version then. Just to box and the money and that someone they don't know will die. The push the button and when it is picked up, they are told it will be given to someone they don't know. Implication is that they are the next who might die.
And I didn't know this was a Matheson concept, so thank you very much for posting that here.
He gets into everything, doesn't he?
It sez here (the internet, so it must be right, amirite or amirite?) that 34 movies have been made from his books (some of them multiple times).
That's like Philip K Dick or Ira Levin or John Grisham or Steven King territory.
@@gtd9536 It was from the 1980s Twilight Zone, not Rod Serlings. It was in color.
They did a version of this story on the rebooted The Twilight Zone from the mid 80s and this movie stretches out what is basically a 15-20 minute story in to a 2 hour long movie and makes it pretty convoluted and confusing.
The quickie summation of The Twilight Zone episode would be:
Husband and wife fight a lot.
He is a generally nice guy, she is a piece of work.
They get a "button unit" and then shortly thereafter Steward shows up with the key.
Steward explains: push the button and somebody you don't know will die... and then I will show up, give you a pile of money and take the button unit back.
The husband and wife argue over pushing the button... eventually the wife pushes it... and seemingly nothing happens.
Steward shows up the next day, says the button was pushed and gives them a briefcase full of cash.
As he takes the button unit back and is leaving the wife asks him what will happen to it and he says it will be reprogrammed and given to somebody new... she asks "to who?" and he replies "to somebody you don't know"
And then the episode ends closing in on the look of shock on her face as she realizes she will be the next to die.
They kind of got there with this movie as Cameron Diaz does eventually die in the end, as said when somebody else pushed the button... but all that extra stuff in the middle kind of muddied the plot.
SSOOOOO... He works at NASA, shes a teacher, they have 1 child with no day care fees and they have trouble makin ends meet 😒😒 SOMEbody is livin beyond their means!!
The hardest thing to believe in this movie is that a highschool teacher and a NASA employee would be living paycheck to paycheck

car loan? I knew families like that with good lifestyle but too much in debts.
Which interestingly gives one a nice clue to their character.
So the one who pressed the button before them dies? So if you press the button, pretty much means that eventually you will die? Am I understanding this correctly?
I mean, we all 'eventually' die, but yes. If you push the button, you will die sooner rather than later. Note that it was Norma who pushed the button and Norma who ends up dead at the end of the movie. Like Steward himself said: 'The only way to win is not to push the button.' You win by not playing.
I was thinking that at the start I was thinking just like jigsaw once you start playing you can never leave
@@sandwicheman9772 yeah, except the og jigsaw was actually truthful and didn't deceive his victims which is what I don't like about this movie.
@@baldawen yeah. if i know i putting my own life or my loved ones life in someone else's hand by pushing the button, hell no i'm not pushing it. :D how can someone play properly without knowing the rules?
exactly. if someone else in the family pressed it, they will die. one way to not die...take the box and kill the man that gave it to you.
There's a part that the recap doesn't show. Norma asks Steward about forgiveness and redemption. She is sorrowful for harming another person. Steward is surprised and not able to answer. Until her question, it was very black and white to him - bad people make bad decisions and get punished. He had just assumed people would be selfish and deserved punishment. But her question of forgiveness makes him question the system.
Side note: I always thought what happens if someone doesn't press the button - does the previous person's gun jam?

Real person faces same choice: but does it have to be random? I mean, I have a whole list here. In fact you can even keep the money...

I watched this movie years ago and had forgotten the same. I’ve looked for it for years. Thank you so much!
I love channels like these because they help bring people to notice underground yet amazing movies that go unseen even though how good they are. Keep up the amazing work!!
Wouldnt say this movie is that underground
What i really mean is that they show not well known movies. And not well known actors.
Cameron Diaz is unknown?
Nvm. I think you know what I mean.
This movie is terrible though.
So the moral of the story is, "what goes comes back around"... got it. What they was willing to do to one family without no question or answers, will happen to them the same..
yup! one family gets it, presses it, the next family gets it, presses it, the previous family loses someone. rinse and repeat.
Roughly 1.6 billion random people have died since I’ve been alive and I haven’t lost a minute of sleep over it. Best believe Id be a billionaire with a button that gives me a million but a random person dies.
That logic is absurd. Would you unalive someone to steal $1 million from them if you could get away with it? Because it's essentially the same thing.

That actually took me by surprise. I thought I'd figured out how they were going to be screwed over by the box and I'm pleased to admit I was wrong

Yes exactly, so many cold blooded people in the comments.
People die all the time, people are dying in petty wars for free might as well get paid and control the population. Seems like an absolute win.

Wouldn’t be enough to pay off your debt and student loans.

This is like hiring a very expensive hitman
The real answer is to yeet the box into a furnace and burn it to a crisp. Cant have them going around killing people with a magic box, especially if they said they was bringing it to another family in 24 hours.

This family definitely does not live "paycheck to paycheck." They might have some fanancial difficulty or large expenses coming up, but definitely doing way better than average household.
To be honest just cuz a family has a nice home doesn’t mean they don’t live paycheck to paycheck, not everyone knows how to invest and save their money wisely
As the guy with the button dies right in front of you
I'd be taping that button non stop until it's taken away from me
I've actually seen most of the movies he does recaps on but wow listening to him makes them even better
That awkward moment when you could press the button 250,000 times and still only be the SECOND richest person on the planet 😬
Yeah, this is another in a long line of, "Money is evil" plays. It isn't evil, it's what you do with the power that money brings that determines good or evil. It's further irrelevant because of who the targets are: They're intentionally picking people who are near dead-on screwed, and by the setup, they even take pains to get them there, such as having the husband fail the psych test to become an astronaut, putting him in the pinch. The entire 'test' is not only irrelevant, but completely loaded from the beginning to force them into the position of pushing the button. I absolutely hate scenarios like this, and figured it would be what the movie was about.
On it's face, I agree with you. But isn't the whole point of the experiment to see if people are able to resist temptation? Obviously, I feel for the family and and see why they would press the button. But pressing the button or not was still a choice they could have made. She would live with a limp but someone else would still be alive. However, I feel like he lied and the two decisions aren't even connected. The previous person who dies does so only because of the mistake they made. So as long as the previous family wanted to save their child, they would have died regardless of whether someone pressed the button or not.
@@pa5666 Nope. The point was to force them to push the button, not tempt. You can't completely remove other options, then say they're tempted.
As a neutral experiment, it has value, but that isn't what happened here.
How to solve your financial issues
1. Downsize your house
2. Sell your car for a small car
3. Stop attending expensive dinners
made me lol, when he said paycheck to paycheck and i saw the car.
I’ll click that button 1,000,000 times.
Same 🤣🤣😭
Concept of this movie was pretty obvious that even I was able to predict the ending just by the stated premise in the video title.
A life is worth more then a million dollars. Close the box and throw it away. I know that's easy to say when I'm outside looking in but I hope if I ever face a similar situation that I don't press the button.
You will not, no matter how hard life maybe, money is essential but it will never make it any easier.
Depends on the life.
Not even a question. I'm pressing that button. Twice.
As it is based on a short story, they didn't have enough material to go for a film. So stuff which doesn't make sense started to be added. That's why this film is so bad.
Steward only came back after them because they started too look for him. That's why he said there will be consequences. Push the button, take money, forget who he is.
They should’ve called the movie “The 1 Million Dollar Question”
I'd pull out an Autoclicker.
So there was no resolution. Glad I saved time with the recap
"if you press this button you will get 1 million dollars, but someone..."
*presses button*
"I haven't finished yet!"
*presses it again*
Who else randomly started watching this channel and now can’t stop watching 😂
"The box" is from a book called "button button" I only know this cuz of school and in the book it's a lil different from the movie
How is no one talking about the name Dick Burns
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
lol I thought I was the only one who thought it was hilarious
Don't let a toddler get their hands on this button, it will be the end of humanity
The College Humor of the guy who won't stop pressing the button is the best.
This recap is beautifully told. Interesting and intense.
From the comments, they say the acting and storyline isn't that great.
Its not. This movie is trash
@@natedoggcata agreed.
In real life, Mr. Steward would simply get some skin grafts on his burned face.
8 billion on earth. So if I press it only 80 times no one would notice right?
I read a story like this as a child. I think the husband was the one who died though. The wife pushed the button and someone she didn’t know was supposed to die. The story ended by saying she didn’t know her husband well
I'm sorry. "Husband works for nasa" "living paycheck to paycheck"
If only kids can somehow find out about their parents great sacrifice
