Under the direction of Schumacher and the pen of Larry Cohen, the thriller Phone Booth unfolds. It centers around a self-important young publicist named Stuart Shepard, portrayed by Colin Farrell, who’s been secretly courting his client Pamela McFadden (Katie Holmes), all while deceiving his wife Kelly (Radha Mitchell). During a call from a phone booth in Times Square meant for Pamela, the situation takes a dangerous turn when Stuart finds himself threatened by an unseen sniper (Kiefer Sutherland) who knows about his indiscretions. The sniper reveals he’s tested two people before to expose their wrongdoings, and those who refused were met with deadly consequences. With his life hanging in the balance, Stuart must comply with the sniper’s demands or face the bullet himself. The film also features performances by Forest Whitaker, Paula Jai Parker, and Richard T. Jones.
