  10. Locke (Ivan Locke)

He’s literally the only person who appears on screen. Movie occurs in real time and is essentially just a 90-minute medium shot of Tom Hardy driving a car and talking on the phone. It’s not just a static shot, but that’s the basic gist of it.

Movies in which only one character appears on screen (or real close to it)

  1. Buried

It’s 90 minutes of Ryan Reynolds locked in a coffin.

    This one is really close; just Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey. There are a few scenes with other people on screens but it’s mostly just Rockwell.

Spanish movie about a man who wakes up in a pit. It’s my understanding “zulo” means “cache” or “hiding place.”
