Cellular is action thriller film directed by David R. Ellis. The film stars Chris Evans, Jason Statham, Kim Basinger and William H. Macy in the lead roles while Noah Emmerich, Richard Burgi, Valerie Cruz and Jessica Biel are featured in supporting roles. The screenplay was written by Chris Morgan and Larry Cohen.
Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger), a high school biology teacher, takes her son Ricky to the bus stop for school. After she returns home, several men break into her house and kill her housekeeper. The men kidnap Jessica and confine her in the attic of their safe house. Ethan Greer (Jason Statham), the group leader, smashes the landline telephone hanging on one of the beams in the attic. Jessica uses the wires of the broken phone and contacts the random number of a cellphone, a Nokia 6600 just happening to belong to Ryan (Chris Evans), a carefree young man who has just been dumped by his girlfriend, Chloe, (Jessica Biel).
Jessica persuades Ryan to go to the police station, where he reports to Sergeant Bob Mooney (William H. Macy). When a fight between several police officers and apprehended gang members breaks out, Mooney is forced to intervene and tells Ryan to report the kidnapping to the robbery-homicide division. When Jessica denies knowledge of information Ethan wants, he leaves to get Ricky. Overhearing them, Ryan gets to Ricky’s school, only to see the boy kidnapped. He hijacks a security officer’s car and gives chase. When his phone battery runs out, he takes the gun in the car, holds up a store and demands a charger.
