1 HOUR

Breanna, a tired and unsuspecting woman, receives a phone call from her husband who informs her they are on their way home from a show with their daughter. As she chats with him, strange lights outside the window catch her attention, but she dismisses them. The conversation is abruptly cut short when her phone dies.

As Breanna goes to charge her phone, flashes of light and the sound of a jiggling doorknob startle her. She cautiously investigates and witnesses two masked men entering her house. Realizing her life is in danger, Breanna retreats and hides, making a desperate call to 911. While on the call, one of the intruders enters her bedroom, briefly searches for valuables, and exits.

Just as Breanna thinks she may be safe, the sound of her daughter's scream echoes through the house. One of the men rushes to investigate, while the other restrains Breanna and attempts to tie her up. However, Breanna manages to break free and incapacitates one of the intruders with a swift kick. In retaliation, the remaining masked man strikes her, causing her to lose consciousness.

As the sound of approaching sirens grows louder, the intruders decide to flee, leaving Breanna behind. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself back on the couch, as if it were all a nightmare. Her phone rings, mirroring the beginning of the film, leaving the audience questioning the reality of the events.

"1 Hour" is a heart-pounding thriller that follows Breanna's harrowing encounter with home invaders and blurs the lines between dreams and reality. As the tension builds, the audience is left wondering whether the events actually occurred or if it was all a terrifying figment of Breanna's imagination.
