This film, part-written and directed by Vincenzo Natali, is clearly influenced by Philip K. Dick. It's a  good representation of PK's _Black Iron Prison_. And the characters' behavior and nature are developed as if it was one of Philip K. Dick's novels. 

_Cube_ (vhs/ntsc) - Primarily known for it's simple and amazing set.

Six different people, each from a very different walk of life, awaken to find themselves inside a giant cube with thousands of possible rooms. Each has a skill that becomes clear when they must band together to get out: a cop, a math wiz, a building designer, a doctor, an escape master, and a disabled man. Each plays a part in their  thrilling quest to find answers as to why they've been imprisoned.
