The heroine and her younger brother depend on each other for life. Her younger brother is seriously ill and needs a bone marrow transplant, and she has run into a job search, so she can only rely on drugs to temporarily sustain her brother's life. A certain doctor asked the heroine to meet, and there was also a rich man. The rich man invited the heroine to participate in a game. If he wins, there will be a large bonus. He can also provide bone marrow and surgery to her brother for free, and the heroine will go back. Agree after consideration. That night, the heroine came to the rich man's luxury villa and found that there were seven other people participating in the game with her. At dinner, the rich made the vegetarian heroine eat meat on the condition of giving money, and let an old man who abstained drink alcohol. The game started after dinner, the old man regretted it, wanted to quit, and was killed by the rich man's men. In the first round, everyone chooses to shock themselves or others. Some choose to shock themselves, while others choose to shock others. In the second round, I chose to pierce someone’s leg with an awl or beat another person’s back with a whip. A well-meaning veteran was dying after several whippings and was dragged out of the room. An old woman was stabbed with a awl. , Died of excessive blood loss. The doctor who introduced the heroine here conscience discovered that he came to rescue the heroine. At this time, the rest of the room also began to resist, but in the end it failed and the black man was killed. The heroine ran out of the room and met the son of the rich man. He wanted to rape the heroine and was injured by the heroine. At this time, the doctor also rushed to the room. Unfortunately, the heroine was killed and the heroine was taken back. So the third round of the game started. Everyone chooses to do according to the requirements in the card in front of them, or to hold their breath for two minutes in the water. As a result, one man and one woman died, leaving only the heroine and another injured man. In the fourth round of the game, the person on the side who got the coin's avatar chose to leave safely with the other person, but there was no bonus. He still chose to shoot another person with a gun and then get the bonus. As a result, the heroine got the coin head, and she shot the man. Therefore, the heroine won the game in the end. She received a huge sum of money and provided her brother with bone marrow and surgery for free. But when the heroine returns home, she finds that her brother has committed suicide.

This film is also a content that tests humanity in extreme artificially created situations. This kind of film basically tells everyone that human nature can't stand the test of extreme situations. In such extreme situations, if you still maintain the usual morality, you may become a victim, just like that veteran. But whether you can be safe to the end by staying absolutely selfish and cruel is not necessarily. It depends on luck. Just like the young woman in the film, you can see that she is usually a very selfish person. In that case, she is even more selfish, cruel, and ruthless. Stabbed the heroine, but in the end she was unlucky and died. Although the heroine won the game, her younger brother committed suicide. This result should be deliberately arranged to strengthen the irony.

In extreme cases, human nature should be considered from the worst perspective. Although the last remaining man had a hint of luck, hoping to persuade the heroine, but in the end he did not escape the shooting. Of course, even if he didn't say anything, he would be killed if he just waited to die. The heroine chooses between that man and her younger brother, she must choose her younger brother.

The rich man in the film plays this game just to take the performance of human nature as a kind of entertainment, but the more common artificial extremes in reality are cruel tests of human nature for some justice or evil goals. In any case, the human nature of most people really cannot withstand the test. Although a very few people have withstood the test, the ending is often the famous verse "Noble is the epitaph of the noble."
