Survive the Night 2020

In a gripping tale filled with unexpected twists, two criminals, Jamie (Shea Buckner) and Matthias, find themselves in over their heads after a botched robbery at a garage that spirals into chaos. With Matthias injured in the leg, they resort to taking a disgraced doctor, Dr. Rich, hostage along with his family in a desperate move to secure medical help.

As tensions rise, Dr. Rich’s father, Frank, is struck by the devastating news of his wife’s brutal murder. In a shocking moment of resolve, he seizes a scalpel and attacks Jamie. However, the altercation escalates quickly when Jamie retaliates with a kitchen knife, wounding Frank. Despite the injury, Frank manages to slip away into the dark of night.

With stakes escalating, Dr. Rich finds himself in a precarious position, threatening to sever Matthias’s artery unless the criminals comply. In a shocking turn, Jamie shoots Dr. Rich in the shoulder, leaving Matthias fighting for his life as Dr. Rich desperately applies surgical clamps to halt the bleeding.

Meanwhile, Frank’s return to the home reveals the grim reality of his wife’s death, and consumed by grief and fury, he teams up with Dr. Rich to confront their assailants. As daybreak approaches, Jamie makes the chilling decision to eliminate the family members, setting his sights on Jan and Riley, who seek refuge in a nearby outbuilding.

In a fierce battle for survival, Frank and Dr. Rich retaliate against Jamie’s merciless blows, managing to subdue him briefly, though not before Jamie knocks out Dr. Rich in a fit of vengeance. Tragically, Matthias succumbs to his wounds during a failed medical procedure, leaving Dr. Rich heartbroken.

As the turmoil begins to settle, Frank locates Jan and assists her in evading Jamie, who is relentless in his pursuit. In a moment of desperation, Jan fires at Jamie but misses her target, leading her to flee for her life. Driven by a fierce desire to reclaim control and protect his family, Dr. Rich grabs a weapon, confronts Jamie, and ultimately ends the terror with a decisive shot. In the aftermath, the family gathers on the front porch, forever changed by their harrowing experience, yet grateful for the bond that has been forged through their shared ordeal.
