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.
