The job is pretty boring until he finds a man trapped in an old Indian dwelling. He jumps at the chance to make a name for himself by taking over and prolonging the rescue effort, and feeding stories to major newspapers. He creates a national media sensation and milks it for all it is worth - until things go terribly wrong.

So after 129 hours of being buried alive, at last, freedom seems in sight.
Now put it on your right side, Leo.
Underneath your arm.
A little lower. Breathe through your mouth.
Move it down a little.
Breathe. Through your mouth.
- I can't.
- Don't talk, please. Just breathe.
Now, on the other side.
I can't any more.
Get me Father Diego.
Shut up, Leo. Do what the doctor tells you.
Chuck, don't, don't let me die without the priest.
You don't need a priest.
You're not going to die.
Tell him he's not gonna die, Doctor.
Everybody's gonna die someday, Leo. I am. Tatum is. You are.
But you still have a long time ahead of you.
Only you have to help.
Now, put it on the left side.
Way over. There. Breathe.
They'll never let me go.
They're getting even with me for robbing their tomb.
They'll never let me go.
- Pneumonia.
