It’s called The Panic Room, and it’s meant to provide a sense of security. Instead, it just makes Meg nervous. When three burglars break in, Meg and Sarah are forced to seek refuge in the high tech bunker.

Terrified and trapped, mother and daughter must use every last resource to fight for their home…
and their lives.
