Based on the novel of the same name by the famous writer Stephen King. The horror novelist Mike (John Cusack) likes to explore haunted places with scientific equipment to collect writing materials. This time he chose the Dolphin Hotel and, despite the strong dissuasion of the hotel manager (Samuel Jackson), moved into Room 1408, where many guests had committed suicide. Mike experienced many horror events as he wished, which completely changed his previous views on supernatural phenomena. When he finally couldn't bear the waves of terrorist attacks and was about to leave Room 1408, the most terrifying thing happened: he couldn't leave no matter what he did.
