Saw is a 2004 Americanindependent horror film directed by James Wan. The screenplay, written by Leigh Whannell, is based on a story by Wan and Whannell. The film stars Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Michael Emerson, Ken Leung, Whannell and Tobin Bell. It is the debut of Wan and Whannell and the first installment of the seven–part Saw film series.
The film's story revolves around Adam (Whannell) and Lawrence (Elwes), two men who are chained in a dilapidated subterranean bathroom and are each given instructions via a microcassette recorder on how to escape. Adam is told he must escape the bathroom, while Lawrence is told to kill him before a certain time, or Lawrence's family will die. Meanwhile, police detectives investigate and attempt to apprehend the mastermind behind the "game".
The screenplay was written in 2001, but after failed attempts to get the script produced in Wan and Whannell's home country, Australia, they were urged to travel to Los Angeles. In order to help attract producers they shot a low-budget short film from a scene out of the script. This proved successful in 2003 as producers from Evolution Entertainment were immediately attached and also formed a horror genre production label Twisted Pictures. The film was given a small budget and shot on a short schedule of 18 days.

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your heart
You made a trade to conquer your wilderness
They took your time, you took what they paid
Ah but you never saw reactions
Or really heard the satisfaction
From the people who could use the things you made
Chorus:
So it's like you carry all the water
On a long desert trip
And then you die of dehydration
When you never take a sip
You had a place, a house in a neighborhood
It was okay, but still you dreamed of more
More than the lives that grew around you
More than the friends that finally found you
There was a grander life that you were working for
Chorus
They said your heart always was strong enough
To do the work it was meant to do
And the attack you underwent
Was from a lack of nourishment
Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you
Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through
Chorus
So they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your heart

The G woke up, phone right by him
Had a couple missed calls, last night's clients
Yawning, scratching ma balls, Rocks rang sighing
Said he's got the lowdown on that prat Ryan
(Yeah)

(Yeah)
He's like dat Ryan
(Ahh)

(Uumh)
Jumped up getting gassed by it
(Gassed by it)
Said I'm coming on the ride, so I sat by him
(Yes)
Strally tucked and I'm ballied up
Rocks black cap, black clothes looking Daffy Duck
Get ma strally out of my coat, raised the strally up
If I see this faggot in the cut, Im'a grab his nut
I'ma grab a touch, bust a gut, let you grab a slug
Little mothafucks, insects, I'ma flatten bugs
Let you fuck with Buck, fling Tecs in you faggot mugs
Show you little cunts in depth what ma 'matic does
Jumped out on foot looking
If a catch this little prick I'ma six foot him
No pigs looking
Something like a live PA, this a big booking
Over there, there's the prick, jook him
Got the toasta heated up for some quick cooking
Didn't even squeeze the trigger, heard the pigs pull in
Didn't even hit the nigga 'cause the pigs took him
Tryna get away from the Jakes, feeling flipping bate
Tryna get this [unverified] crime scene with the sticky tape
Tryna slip away, might mean gotta hit a Jake
Rocky hit the brake, went left, threw the stick away
Feds are closing in, no stick, you're too flipping late
If they saw the stick, get dashed, that's a different game
Whiplash from the switching lanes
