The short film Black Button tells the story of Mr. Roberts who awakens in a plain white room with a man at a desk. The man offers Roberts $10 million if he pushes a black button, but warns that pushing it will kill a random person. Roberts debates the choice, wanting the money but unsure of killing someone. He justifies pushing the button by saying deaths occur frequently. After pushing it, Roberts discovers he died in a car crash on his way home. The man reveals Roberts' death would have been avoided if he took the key instead of pushing the button.
