"The guests at a dinner party are held prisoner for several days without food, water or other essentials in a room in their host's house."
"A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and inexplicably find themselves unable to leave."
"Wealthy guests at a post-opera dinner party inexplicably loiter for days unable to leave the room. Their elegantly civilised veneer is stripped away as they deteriorate mentally, physically and socially. The most satisfactory explanation for this wickedly surreal black comedy may be that there is no logical explanation, no hidden symbolic meanings other than a bringing together of themes and obsessions that Buñuel used in all his films. The repetition of events may refer to 'the way that we repeat ourselves in everyday life.' This film and Marienbad were perhaps the first to present fantasy on film without a narrative explanation."
"High society dinner guests find themselves unable to leave the room, stay there for days and go totally to the bad before the strange spell is broken. When they go to church to give thanks, they find themselves unable to leave the church."
"After a lavish dinner party in a stately mansion, the guests believe themselves unable to leave the premises. As the days pass, the elaborate facades of their social positions collapse and they are forced to live like animals. Finally dIscovering they are actually free to leave, they go to church to give thanks, where they are again trapped. Buñuel's allegory exposes the futility of the conventional thinking of the upper classes."

"During a formal dinner party at the home of Se©łor Nobile and his wife, Lucia, the servants unaccountably leave their posts until only the major-domo is left. After dinner, the guests adjourn to the music room where one of the women plays a piano sonata. Later, instead of leaving, the guests remove their jackets, loosen their gowns, and settle down for the night. By morning it is apparent that for some inexplicable reason, they are trapped in the room. Days pass, and their plight intensifies; they become quarrelsome, hostile, and hysterical. One of the guests, Russell, dies and his body is placed in a large cupboard; B©♭atriz and Eduardo, a young couple about to be married, lock themselves in a closet and commit suicide; a sheep is slaughtered and roasted on a fire made from floorboards; the host gives his secret supply of morphine to Leonora, whose physician, another guest, reveals to others that she is dying of cancer, but the drugs are stolen by Francisco and Juana, an incestuous brother and sister; and Ana, a practitioner of witchcraft, invokes the demons of hell while lapsing into feverish hallucinations. Eventually, Ra©ðl suggests that Nobile is responsible for their predicament and that he must be sacrificed. As Nobile offers to take his own life, Letitia sees that they are all in the same positions as when their plight began. Obeying her instructions, they retrace their conversation and movements and discover that they are free to leave the room. To celebrate their salvation, the guests attend mass at the cathedral. When the service is over, they find that they, along with the priest and the entire congregation, are once again trapped. The situation on the church provokes a riot on the streets and the military apparently take over the town.--Wikipedia."
