Several well-known visitors, including actors Luke Wilson and Wes Anderson, and Oscar-winning director James L. Brooks, become trapped in an elevator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Reports say the group was inside a “secret” elevator described by outlets as being used for celebrities when the incident occurs. The group also includes three other people, for a total of six trapped individuals. Firefighters respond to free those inside, and the trapped people are ultimately released. The accounts emphasize that the elevator malfunction or lockup prevents the group from exiting normally, requiring emergency assistance. Details about what caused the problem, whether anyone is injured, and what happens to the elevator afterward are not provided in the excerpts. The incident is portrayed as an unexpected disruption during a visit to the museum by high-profile figures, with emergency personnel called in to resolve the situation.
