Six total strangers awaken one day to find themselves alone in a cubical maze. Once they meet, they work together using their given skills and talents to survive the deadly traps which guard many of the colored cubic rooms. Using Leaven's mathematical skills, they press forward, upward, and downward through the hatches to try and find the outer shell.

Movie Quote(s):
- Holloway: You've got a gift. Leaven: It's not a gift. It's just a brain.
-
Quentin: For Christ's sake, Worth, what do you live for? Do you have a wife, or a girlfriend, or something? Worth: Nope. I've gotta pretty fine collection of pornography.
-
Leaven: [Leaven, Kazan & Worth reaching the exit of the cube] What are you doing? You can't quit now. It's not your fault! Worth: I have nothing... to live for out there. Leaven: What is out there? Worth: Boundless human stupidity. Leaven: I can live with that.
-
Quentin: I'm not dying in a fucking rat maze!
-
Rennes: No more talking. No more guessing. Don't even think about nothing that's not right in front of you. That's the real challenge. You've gotta save yourselves from yourselves.
Movie Trivia:
- Shot on a single 14'x14' set, made to look like many different cubes through the use of different-colored panels.
-
All of the characters are named after prisons: Quentin (San Quentin, California), Holloway (England), Kazan (Russia), Rennes (France), Alderson (Alderson, West Virginia), Leaven and Worth (Leavenworth, Kansas).
-
Not only are the characters named after prisons but they reflect the prisons themselves. Example: Kazan (the mentally challenged character), in Russia is a disorganized prison. Rennes (the "mentor") was a jail that pioneered many of today's prison policies. Quentin (the detective) is known for its brutality. Holloway is a women's prison, and Alderson is a prison where isolation is a common punishment. Leavenworth runs to a rigid set of rules (Leaven's mathematics), and the new prison is corporately owned and built (Worth, hired as an architect).
-
To show their support for the Toronto film industry, the special effects company C.O.R.E. did the digital effects for free.
-
Director Vincenzo Natali directed a follow-up short film in which we see what is outside the cube. Natali has made a solemn vow never to reveal what was outside the cube, and destroyed the video years ago.
