Awake is a 2007 suspense thriller written and
directed by Joby Harold. It stars Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba,
Terrence Howard and Lena Olin.
A wealthy man named Clayton Beresford Jr.(played
by Christensen) has a faulty heart and needs a heart transplant.
Against his mother's wishes, he will be operated by his surgeon friend
Jack instead of a prestigious doctor. He is also dating his mother's
secretary Sam, whom he marries on the eve of the surgery. However, when
he finds that he is still awake during the operation, he finds out
about a plot to kill him and get his money, and learns that Jack and
Sam are in on it. Eventually one of the doctors operating on him that
has been sent by law enforcement to spy on the other doctors realizes
what is going on. His mother also catches on, and sacrifices herself to
let Clayton have her compatible heart. The movie ends with hospital
security arresting all the corrupt doctors except Jack, who has locked
himself inside his office. His respite will be short-lived however, as
a locksmith is seen in the last scene, undoing the lock in the door.
