At a mystical, bullet-strewn outpost in the heart of the Mojave Desert, four disparate working-class people from the streets of Las Vegas will find their lives forever changed. Few normal people would expect to find an abandoned phone booth in the middle of the desert, yet for some of the more eccentric travelers, it's actually the entire reason for their journey. The myth of this phone booth was born on the Internet. Windows smashed and covered in graffiti, the lonely booth sets at the end of a long stretch of road surrounded by nothingness for hundreds of miles. But it still functions, and there's always the prospect that at any moment, the telephone may unexpectedly come alive with the sound of a ring. The callers phone in from all corners of the country, and the occupant inside never knows what interesting conversation could await them. Now, as four lonely strangers set up camp near this abandoned phone booth, they are all about to discover that they are better connected to the outside world than they ever imagined. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Frost is about to become Weston's one and only guest at the safe house, and the fledgling agent is determined to handle the situation like a true professional. But by selling U.S. secrets to countries like North Korea, Frost has made more than his fair share of enemies in high places, and shortly after he arrives at the safe house, all hell breaks loose. A small army of gunmen are determined to see Frost dead. Meanwhile, Weston will do everything in his power to protect Frost, regardless of his crimes. Now Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Three individuals on three separate continents devote their lives to solving some of the planet's most urgent ecological challenges in this sobering documentary from filmmakers Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee and Gayatri Roshan. Disturbed by the pollution that's strangling the life out of the sacred Ganges River, renegade Indian government official Rajendra Singh makes it his personal mission to raise awareness about the effects of industrialization on one of India's most revered landmarks. Meanwhile, in Canada, young mother Eriel Deranger endures a grueling uphill battle in her efforts to halt construction of a proposed 2000-mile Keystone XL Pipeline that would keep oil flowing from one of the country's largest oil deposits. And what if we could actually develop technology capable of slowing down the process of global warming itself? That's the question posed by Australian innovator Jay Harman, who's created a unique device that uses nature's own design to cleanse our polluted environment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
