It reads:
"John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most chilling installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw's most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer - only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable."
It continues:
"Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps."
Apart from Bell, the film also stars Shawnee Smith, Shawnee Smith, Steven Brand, and others. Saw X has a runtime of 118 minutes and has been produced by Mark Burg and Oren Koules.
