Panic Room is a 2002 American thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by David Koepp. The film stars Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam, Kristen Stewart, and Patrick Bauchau. The story is about a mother and daughter taking refuge in a safe room during a break-in of their home by three burglars who are after millions of dollars stored in a safe.
Recently divorced Meg Altman (Foster) and her 11-year-old daughter Sarah (Stewart) have just purchased a four-story brownstone on the upper west side of New York City. The house's previous owner, a reclusive millionaire, installed an isolated room used to protect the house's occupants from intruders. The "panic room" is protected by concrete and steel on all sides, a thick steel door, and an extensive security system with multiple surveillance cameras and a separate phone line. On the night the two move into the home, it is broken into by Junior (Leto), the grandson of the previous owner; Burnham (Whitaker), an employee of the residence's security company; and Raoul (Yoakam), a ski mask-wearing gunman recruited by Junior. The three are after $3 million in bearer bonds, which are locked inside a floor safe in the panic room.
You call me up in the early morn
I stretch my arms and hide
Take your call,
Crawl back under the sheets
Your soft voice brings me life
I was just here dreaming
of our adventures through the night.
I woke up to a single bed
And I held my pillow tight
You asked me, "Darling
If I could meet with you today"
You tell me that it's sunny outside
And too beautiful to waste
And we should go exploring
And make the most of all these rays
We should be together
For these are rare and precious days
Sunshine
Take the blue away
Sunshine
Cast a spell today
When I rise up, jumping
And you know I, I dance around the room
ANd I know it is magical
I'm a flower now in bloom
I peek out the window
And I see the children ride
And these grey streets have been transformed
They sparkle golden in the light
And I run fast to meet you there
For amber lights to kiss your hair
You lift me up, and swing me round
The colors flow, we fall to the ground
We lay here together
In the lazy yellow grass
Playing games forever
While the floating clouds are passed
And we trail up in this
Through the crystal water stream
Trying to hold on to something
That's too beautiful and free
Sunshine
Take the blue away
Sunshine
Make the moment stay
Sunshine
My broken heart will say
Sunshine
