Awake is a 2007 American psychological thriller and the directorial debut of Joby Harold, starring Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba, Terrence Howard, and Lena Olin. The plot follows billionaire Clay Beresford, who experiences the rare condition of anesthesia awareness during his heart transplant—remaining fully conscious and paralyzed while overhearing his surgeon, Dr. Jack Harper, conspire to kill him with a poisoned donor heart for an insurance payout. Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on November 30, 2007, the film earned negative reviews from critics, who panned the leads' performances, direction, and editing, yet it performed moderately at the box office, grossing about $32.7 million worldwide against an $8.6 million budget. At the 28th Golden Raspberry Awards, Alba received nominations for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Combo (with Christensen). The twist unfolds when Clay realizes his new wife Sam is part of the scheme, but his mother Lilith sacrifices herself so her viable heart can replace the sabotaged organ, ultimately leading to the arrest of the conspirators and Sam's exposure.
