Survive the Night

Rich, a former physician, and his wife Jan are forced to defend their quiet suburban home when masked intruders burst in, fleeing after a botched robbery. The criminals demand medical help for a wounded partner, and the tense standoff quickly turns the house into a perilous trap. With a phone line cut and the clock ticking, Rich must decide how far he will go to protect his family while obeying the medical duty he once took for granted. The situation tightens as tempers flare, loyalties fracture, and every room becomes a potential battleground. The film follows their attempts to survive the night without a clear way out. The night unfolds with small acts of courage and quiet desperation amid uncertainty.

Directed by Matt Eskandari and based on a story by Doug Wolfe, Survive the Night released in 2020 as a compact action thriller that relies on practical suspense and a stark home setting rather than glossy spectacle throughout the film.
