What if someone gave you a box containing a button that, if pushed, would bring you a million dollars...but simultaneously take the life of someone you don't know? Would you do it? The year is 1976 and Norma (Diaz) and Arthur (Marsden) Lewis are an average couple living a normal life in the suburbs with their young son...until a mysterious man appears and presents them with a life-alternating proposition: The Box. With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face a momentous moral dilemma. And they soon discover that the
ramifications of this decision extend far beyond their own fortune and fate. Based on the short story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson. (Gary Reber)
