10 Cloverfield Lane

10 Cloverfield Lane is a 2016 American science fiction horror thriller film directed by Dan Trachtenberg in his directorial debut, produced by J. J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber and written by Josh Campbell, Matthew Stuecken, and Damien Chazelle. The second film in the Cloverfield franchise, it stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, and John Gallagher Jr. The story follows a young woman who, after a car crash, wakes up in an underground bunker with two men who insist that an event has left the surface of Earth uninhabitable.

The film was developed from a script titled The Cellar; but under production by Bad Robot, it was turned into a spiritual successor to the 2008 film Cloverfield. It is presented in a third-person narrative, in contrast to its predecessor's found-footage style. Principal photography took place under the title Valencia in New Orleans, Louisiana, from October 20 to December 15, 2014.

10 Cloverfield Lane premiered in New York City on March 8, 2016, and was released in select countries on March 10. It was released in the United States on March 11, 2016, in both conventional and IMAX formats. The film received positive reviews and grossed over $110 million worldwide. A successor, The Cloverfield Paradox, was released on February 4, 2018.

After an argument with her fiancé, a young woman named Michelle leaves her New Orleans apartment. That night, while driving through rural Louisiana, she hears news reports of blackouts in several major cities. Suddenly, her car is struck off the road, knocking her unconscious. Awakening with an injured leg, Michelle finds she is chained in a bunker. Her captor, an older man named Howard, unchains her. He explains he took her to the bunker to save her life and claims that the air outside is poisoned after an attack.

Howard gives Michelle a tour of his bunker, introducing her to Emmett, his construction assistant. Through a viewport at the airlock, Howard shows her two decayed pigs outside, supposedly killed in the attack. Michelle also sees Howard's truck and recalls it striking her car. She privately talks to Emmett, who assures her the attack is real: he begged to be let in after witnessing the attack.

During dinner, Howard shows flashes of jealousy when Michelle grows closer to Emmett. Michelle steals Howard's keychain and flees. At the airlock, she prepares to open the outside door when she witnesses a woman covered with lesions screaming to be let in before dying. Michelle retreats to the bunker, and Howard explains that he accidentally struck her car while rushing to the bunker. Michelle is seemingly convinced.

Over the next few days, the trio begins to adapt to life underground, and Howard opens up about his daughter, showing Michelle a photo. After something loud passes overhead, the air ventilation system fails. Howard sends Michelle through a small duct to reactivate it. In the control room, she finds a padlocked skylight with the word "HELP" scratched on the inside, and an earring she saw in the photo. Michelle shares this with Emmett, who recognizes the girl as a local who disappeared two years earlier; Howard's actual daughter left with his wife. Deciding to escape, Michelle fashions a makeshift hazmat suit by stealing Howard's supplies and tools.

Howard discovers their plot and threatens to immerse them both in perchloric acid. When Emmett claims responsibility, Howard shoots and kills him. He tells a shocked Michelle that now they can be a family of two. While Howard cleans up, Michelle secretly finishes the suit. When discovered, Michelle flees, overturning a barrel of acid. The corrosive puddle disfigures Howard and starts a fire. Leaving Howard to his fate, Michelle dons the suit and escapes.
