“When he falls into an abandoned well breaking his leg, a teenager must rescue himself or die from exhaustion.”
(A movie like 148 Hours, Open Water, Gerald’s Game, Gravity, and Frozen, where the protagonist is the trapped one.)

“When an abandoned well collapses on a young boy, a firefighter’s team must save him before he suffocates.”
