1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,040
The opening scene features a guy, who
finds himself confined within a large Cube,
2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,300
comprising various compartments. In his quest
to escape, he ventures through different
3
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:14,280
compartments. At one point, he enters a room that
sprays him with an unfamiliar liquid. Initially,
4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:20,160
he freaks out thinking that it’s acid but as he
tastes it, he finds it sweet. The man assumes
5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,240
that it is flavored water and desperately
drinks it to quench his thirst. However,
6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:28,860
to his dismay, the liquid turns out
to be a powerful chemical base that
7
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:34,500
gradually melts his entire body within a few
minutes, ultimately resulting in his death.
8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:38,160
It is then revealed that all the rooms in
the Cube are under constant surveillance
9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,400
from a remote observation room,
where two technicians named Eric
10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,060
and Dodd work. They are oblivious
to the identity of their bosses,
11
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:49,440
and are strictly prohibited from accessing the
files which are not related to their tasks.
12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,700
Despite this restriction, Eric is increasingly
curious about the events occurring within the
13
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:57,660
Cube and attempts to inquire about them
to Dodd. However, the latter dismisses
14
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:01,620
him rudely. Based on their knowledge, Eric
and Dodd are aware that everyone within the
15
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:06,000
Cube has either been condemned to death or
are willingly choosing to participate in
16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,800
psychological experiments. During their work, the
two technicians engage in regular chess matches,
17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,420
where Eric demonstrates his remarkable mental
calculation abilities by predicting Dodd's
18
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:19,680
moves. Alongside their duties, they are
provided with some tablets as their meals.
19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,060
One day, Eric and Dodd are tasked with a
significant assignment: to record and erase
20
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:29,340
the memories of a subject named Cassandra Rains.
In her memory, Eric witnesses Cassandra and her
21
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:33,840
daughter strolling happily through a forest.
However, their peace is abruptly shattered
22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,060
when they are abducted by a masked soldier who
injects them with sedatives. Before passing out,
23
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:45,180
Cassandra manages to unveil the soldier's face,
revealing a distinct cube tattoo on his forehead.
24
00:01:45,180 --> 00:01:52,920
Later, she regains consciousness and finds herself
trapped within the confines of the cube. She calls
25
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,960
for help, but as expected, no one can hear her
out. Realizing that her fate is in her own hands,
26
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,520
Cassandra finally starts exploring her
surroundings. She somehow reaches the
27
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,380
adjacent room, but as soon as she enters,
another captive named Robert Haskell throws
28
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,700
her to the ground. He tightly restrains her
until he realizes that she is one of them.
29
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:15,840
In the room, Cassandra meets three
other occupants: Jellico, Meyerhold,
30
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,800
and Bartok. They appear to have been
trapped here since weeks. Surprisingly,
31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Robert bears the same cube tattoo as the soldier
who captured Cassandra. However, none of the group
32
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,400
members possess memories of their past lives
or any recollection of how they ended up here.
33
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,140
Motivated by a shared desire to escape, they
collectively decide to head in the same direction,
34
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:41,760
hoping to locate an edge. As a result, the
captives navigate the intricate chambers
35
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,160
of the Cube, cautiously testing each room for
potential traps. At first, Bartok uses a method
36
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,240
of throwing his shoe and waiting for signs of
danger. When he doesn't see anything wrong,
37
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,940
he assumes the room is safe and proceeds inside.
Unfortunately, his assumption proves fatal, as he
38
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:05,160
soon becomes trapped in a network of threads that
slowly gets tighter, cutting his body into pieces.
39
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,600
Following the terrifying incident, the remaining
victims continue their search for an escape
40
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560
route. After a bit of discussion, they learn
that each door within the cube bears English
41
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,880
alphabets. Cassandra deduces that these
alphabets actually represent coordinates,
42
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,140
providing information about the position of
each room within the cube. They speculate
43
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:26,280
that the cube comprises a total of 26
rooms, correlating with the number of
44
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,120
letters in the English alphabet. Acting
upon this realization, the group begins
45
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,100
investigating other rooms, discovering that
the rooms along the z-axis are deemed safe.
46
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:39,780
Meanwhile, in the control room, Eric becomes
curious, and decides to uncover why the people
47
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:43,860
are imprisoned within the cube. He then
devises a proposition, offering to teach
48
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:48,480
Dodd various chess strategies in exchange
for information concerning the cube. Dodd,
49
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,780
who is intrigued by the offer,
shares details about the cube's
50
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:56,400
third auxiliary exit but refrains
from divulging any further specifics.
51
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,620
In the next scene, Eric's curiosity intensifies
when he notices that Cassandra's consent form is
52
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:06,780
missing. He quickly informs Dodd, saying that
whatever they are doing is illegal, but Dodd
53
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:11,280
once again dismisses him. Their attention is then
caught by Cassandra's photograph in a newspaper,
54
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,600
revealing her to be a politician. This
revelation leads Eric to realize that
55
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,420
the cube not only targets criminals but also
innocent individuals without their consent.
56
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:26,400
Shortly after, Eric and Dodd receive a call from
their superiors, issuing a directive to carry
57
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,900
out an exit procedure. It is revealed that the
procedure involves their former colleague: Owen,
58
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:36,000
who currently serves as a test subject within the
cube. For this purpose, Dodd prepares a machine
59
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,040
equipped with a camera and a Yes-No button.
As Owen approaches one of the cube's exits,
60
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,380
he becomes trapped by thick chains. In this
critical moment, Dodd poses several questions to
61
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:52,020
Owen, inquiring about his name and his belief in
god. Despite hearing Dodd's voice, Owen fails to
62
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:56,640
recognize him, indicating that his memory has also
been erased. He answers correctly to the first
63
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,380
question, prompting Dodd to press the yes button.
However, when confronted with the second question,
64
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:07,680
Owen denies his belief in gods, leading him to
press the no button. As soon as he does so, a fire
65
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,320
engulfs him, killing him instantly. Witnessing
all this, Eric begins to panic, realizing that
66
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,640
they too could meet a similar fate at any given
moment. He reaches the disturbing conclusion that
67
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,100
the cube's existence is inhumane, and people are
being forcibly placed inside against their will.
68
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,960
A few hours later, Eric becomes so paranoid
that he decides to venture into the cube
69
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,000
himself. He now wants to save the remaining
victims from their impending doom. For this,
70
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,500
he enters the unauthorized elevator, which
takes him all the way down to the cube. Then,
71
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,340
using his extensive knowledge of the
place, Eric draws a map and memorizes
72
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:45,240
it well before embarking on his mission to
join Cassandra and the rest of the group.
73
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,260
Meanwhile, a superior named Jax,
accompanied by his associates,
74
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:53,340
arrives at the control room. They are
aware of Eric’s entry into the cube,
75
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:58,200
so they utilize controlling machines to track
his whereabouts. Amidst all this, Jax orders
76
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Dodd to initiate a standard series of needle
tests on Cassandra and the rest of the group.
77
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Elsewhere inside the cube, Jellico takes the
initiative to investigate a room. She doesn’t
78
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,360
want to do it, but she has no other choice.
Unfortunately, the decision turns out to be
79
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,160
a bad one: as soon as she enters, the door behind
her abruptly shuts. Cassandra hurriedly opens the
80
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,860
door, but to her shock, Jellico has already
vanished. This unsettling incident reveals
81
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:28,740
that the rooms inside the cube are in constant
motion. Meanwhile, as Jellico explores her room,
82
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:34,020
Dodd locates her and administers a sedative
injection to her feet, rendering her unconscious.
83
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:39,300
After searching for several hours, Cassandra and
the group finally find Jellico lying motionless.
84
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:43,800
Meyerhold carefully approaches her and turns her
over, only to discover that her body has been
85
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,900
afflicted by some sort of infection. Just then,
Jellico wakes up and clutches onto Meyerhold,
86
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:54,420
pleading for help. However, in a defensive act,
Meyerhold pushes her away, accidentally causing
87
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:59,040
her to strike her head against the wall. This
results in her death, but Meyerhold soon realizes
88
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,080
that his hands had been scratched while she was
clutching onto him. Unfortunately, before he can
89
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,120
react, the infection starts spreading across his
body as well. Recognizing the potential danger he
90
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,860
poses, Robert suggests that they leave Meyerhold
behind. He claims that the guy is only going to
91
00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:19,740
slow them down, or worse, infect them as well.
However, despite all this, Cassandra asserts
92
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:24,180
that they cannot abandon the poor man. When
Meyerhold also starts pleading, Robert agrees,
93
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:29,160
but on the condition that he inspects all
subsequent rooms before the group enters. With
94
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360
no other viable choice, Meyerhold reluctantly
agrees, and the group continues their journey.
95
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,500
In the next scene, Meyerhold proceeds
to check a room located beneath them,
96
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:42,300
but Robert suddenly pushes him downward.
The room turns out to be a trapped one that
97
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:48,300
emits an incredibly high-frequency sound. This
sadly kills Meyerhold in seconds. As expected,
98
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:53,160
Cassandra expresses her disappointment and engages
in a heated argument with Robert. She calls him a
99
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,260
betrayer, who only cares about himself. Just as
things are about to turn violent, Eric enters
100
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:03,300
the room and asserts that what Robert did was
right because the virus was highly infectious.
101
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:11,940
Eric then introduces himself as an employee
and proceeds to divulge secret information
102
00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:16,380
about the cubes. He explains that the
occupants volunteered for this experience,
103
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:21,960
despite having no recollection of it. However,
Robert angrily claims that he never signed any
104
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,580
consent form and committed no crime. He mentions
that he used to be a hardworking delivery
105
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:31,860
boy before he was abducted. But in reality,
Robert has no recollection of his past life.
106
00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:36,360
Meanwhile, Cassandra inquires about her daughter,
prompting Robert to share some sketches he made.
107
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,760
He claims that he saw the girl in her memories.
Overwhelmed, Cassandra loses control and attacks
108
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,560
him, but Robert stops her, reminding her that they
need the man. Eric also assures them that he is
109
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,840
here to help as he can analyze the coordinates
and guide them towards the third auxiliary exit.
110
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,040
On the other hand, Jax's associates locate
Eric's whereabouts and display the information
111
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,300
on their monitor. In response, Jax orders
them to erase all coordinates of the room
112
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:04,920
and surround the occupants with traps. After
successfully confining them within one room,
113
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,300
Jax activates the electrification of the
walls to potentially kill them. However,
114
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:12,600
a sudden power outage disrupts their
connection with the cube. It turns out
115
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Dodd had a sudden change in mind, and he
was the one who sabotaged the operation.
116
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,240
This action deactivates all the traps within
the room and initiates a reset mode. The
117
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,740
prisoners are now granted a ten-minute window
to escape, before a sterilization procedure
118
00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:30,900
begins and vaporizes everything inside. Eric
quickly realizes that Dodd has assisted them,
119
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:35,100
so he sets a ten-minute countdown timer on
his watch and leads the group to the exit.
120
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:39,660
In the control room, Jax eventually
learns of Dodd’s treachery and kills
121
00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:44,100
him as punishment. After this, he accesses
an implanted chip within Robert's brain,
122
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:48,600
granting him control over his body.
Jax then manipulates the proggarming,
123
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,940
and orders Robert to eliminate the others
before they can successfully exit the cube.
124
00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:59,100
Following the order, Robert becomes hostile
towards his former companions and launches a
125
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:04,140
brutal attack on them. However, Eric and Cassandra
team up and somehow manage to subdue him. The two
126
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:08,700
then head forward, and eventually arrive at an
exit room, only to discover Robert waiting for
127
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:14,520
them. He once again attacks the duo, and almost
manages to choke Eric to death. But fortunately,
128
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:22,020
Cassandra comes to the rescue and impales him on
a sharp metal object, finally killing him. The
129
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:26,700
two then hastily enter the auxiliary exit just
before the sterilization procedure commences.
130
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:30,960
Following this, Eric and Cassandra swim
through water and emerge in a lake. They
131
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,520
make their escape through a forest that eerily
resembles the one depicted in Cassandra's memory
132
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,380
earlier. Unfortunately, Jax’s soldiers also
arrive at the forest and start chasing them.
133
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:45,180
During the pursuit, Eric is sadly tranquilized
and captured. But before losing unconsciousness,
134
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:49,980
he manages to hold the soldiers back
momentarily, allowing Cassandra to escape.
135
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:55,140
Later on, Eric regains consciousness and finds
himself in a surgical room, where Jax reveals that
136
00:10:55,140 --> 00:11:00,180
Eric has been convicted of high treason and that
he had agreed to participate as a test subject.
137
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:05,520
Jax also presents a consent form with Eric's
signature, although the latter has no recollection
138
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,440
of it. Following this revelation, a surgeon
proceeds to alter Eric's brain. During this,
139
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,600
he dreams of Cassandra reuniting with her
daughter and praising him as a superhero.
140
00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:24,420
In the final scene, Eric, who is now mentally
disabled, is held back inside the cube,
141
00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:28,740
where he is found by the new captives. He
repeatedly mentions the color of the room
142
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,880
and expresses his desire to return
to a room with a different color.
