But, everything in their life is about to change as seen in the firstly-outed trailer for "The Box". Providing a look inside the life of the couple before and after a box mysteriously appears in their doorstep, the sneak peek comes from Moviefone.
Soon after Norma finds the box, a mysterious stranger comes knocking on their door. Showing what is inside the box, the man then offers the couple $1 million if they press the button within 24 hours. However, should they do that, another human being somewhere in the world will simultaneously end up dead. Now, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the crosshairs of a startling moral dilemma and face the true nature of their humanity.
