Four maths geniuses are summoned to a remote location by a mysterious puzzle master who has named himself after the 17th century French number theorist Pierre de Fermat and promises to challenge his guests with a great enigma. Gathered in a sumptuous lounge, the four strangers discover to their horror they have been locked inside a death trap. Imaginatively conceived and smartly executed, this makes for enormously enjoyable viewing.
