Elevator

Nine people get stuck in an elevator when a stupid, arrogant little brat (grandpa's little princess) decides to "accidentally" push the emergency stop button because one of the other people in the elevator is claustrophobic (and, also, an asshole).

The dynamics in the group are grounds for conflict.

(1) the little brat
(2) the elderly rich guy, grandfather to said little girl, building owner
(3) the claustrophobic comedian, racist
(4) the security guy of Iranian origin, victim of racism
(5) the overweight company guy, working for (2)
(6) a young blonde, pregnant with the child of
(7) a young, handsome hot shot company guy, working for (2)
(8) his fiance, journalist
(9) an elderly lady, husband killed himself over money he lost thanks to (7) and (2)

Lady number (9) carries a bomb upon her body. Her plan was to 'make a statement' by blowing herself up at the party held in honor of the big cheese. Getting stuck in the elevator was not part of the plan and makes the situation all the more disagreeable for everyone involved. She eventually dies of a (stress-induced, one assumes) heart attack but not before alerting everyone about the bomb issue.

Accusations fly. They pull together to try and escape and just when they are about to catch a break, the stupid brat decides to frantically push the buttons again, causing the elevator to drop a few stories and ripping off the arm of heroic (7). Thanks to the journalist ladies and modern technology, they broadcast their ordeal and try to get help asap.

Most, but not all, get out alive.
