Saw, written by Leigh Whannell and directed by James Wan, was initially met with skepticism by film studios. Despite its meager budget of $1.2 million, the film's potential for gore and violence made it a tough sell. However, thanks to the persistence of its creators and a clever marketing strategy, Saw went on to gross over $56 million worldwide, making it a commercial success.
The film's plot centers around Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) and Adam (Leigh Whannell), two men who awaken chained in a dingy industrial bathroom with no recollection of how they got there. As they try to escape, they are forced to play a twisted game designed by the serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). The movie's cat-and-mouse game, coupled with its shocking twists and turns, helped to establish Saw as a masterclass in suspense and tension. saw 2004 internet archive
