{{spoiler}}

==Plot==
Jigsaw has disappeared. With his new apprentice Amanda ([[Shawnee Smith]]), the puppet-master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon ([[Bahar Soomekh]]) is unaware that she is about to become the latest pawn on his vicious chessboard. One night, after finishing a shift at her hospital, Lynn is kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse where she meets Jigsaw ([[Tobin Bell]]), bedridden and on the verge of death. She is told that she must keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff ([[Angus Macfadyen]]), another of his victims, to complete a game of his own. Racing against the ticking clock of Jigsaw’s own heartbeat, Lynn and Jeff struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware that he has a much bigger plan for both of them.

==Traps==
So far the first trap revealed was a sort of crucifix that when strapped to it, has gears that twists your head, arms, and legs around a full 360.<ref>[http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2006/06/09/1622126.html Jam Showbiz!]</ref> Also seen in the poster and in a few pictures on the House of Jigsaw is some sort of mouth or head piece, although is mere speculation. The three teeth could soley represent the number ''3'' just as most of ''[[Saw 2]]'''s promotion featured 2 severed fingers to represent the number ''2'', when no other use of severed fingers were featured in the film.
[[Image:Photodir2.jpg|280px|thumb|right|The chain trap.]]
During the [[Lionsgate]] film panel at the 2006 San Diego [[Comic-Con]], a first exclusive unedited clip of the film was previewed. It featured a man who finds himself in an empty, forgotten classroom and then is soon greeted by Jigsaw's puppet on a television screen (much in the same style as ''[[Saw 2]]''). Jigsaw's puppet reveals that the man had been in and out of prisons for quite a time and if he wishes to live he must break free of the chains that bind him there before the timer stops, detonating a bomb in the room. The problem is, his shackles are not only bound around his wrists, but through them and other parts of his body, including ones through his jaw, legs lip, back and chest.

As the timer starts, he painfully pulls the chain rings through his skin, but the seconds tick away and the timer nears the end. Similar to the opening scene in ''[[Saw 2]]'' and the head trap scene featuring Amanda ([[Shawnee Smith]]) in ''[[Saw]]'', the camera spins around the subject and the time speeds up as they struggle. Right as the timer's last second goes by, the time slows back to normal as the man looks to the timer and the ''Saw 3'' Logo comes to the screen.

During the teaser trailer that was given before ''[[The Descent]]'', one of the traps revealed was a person suspended in what seemed to be an ice chamber. Spinning around her was a pipe-like structure that sprayed water on her nude body. This is similar to an act of torture given by the infamous [[Elizabeth Báthory]]. There is a glimpse of a black man wearing some kind of head device. Also a glimpse of a man in a cage-like structure who's being drowned in battery acid.Also, the beginning of the teaser trailer shows what it looks to be like Kerry in a trap of her own. Her trap you can only see two chains that seem to be connected somewhere on around her body.


Also in an interview at the Comic Con, Leigh Whannell revealed that one of the traps had to do with the loss of limbs - probably the metal crucifix.

==Characters==
[[Image:Saw3jigsawamanda.PNG|300px|thumb|Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda.]]
* [[Tobin Bell]] as John Kramer

The only confirmed victims in ''Saw III'' characters are named Lynn and Jeff. Lynn is a mother in her 30's, who is kidnapped by Jigsaw due to the "dark secrets" she has been keeping from loved ones. Jeff is a father who still grieving over the loss of his son. Although his son's death was an accident, Jeff has never been able to forgive himself. <ref>[http://joblo.com/index.php?id=11018 Joblo.com]</ref> Some of Jigsaw's other victims had something to do with Jeff's son's death and he(Jeff)will have to choose whether to help them or watch them die a slow and painful death. <ref>[http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2006/06/09/1622126.html Jam Showbiz!]</ref>

According to photos of Saw III, Jeff's trap will be simultaneous with the ice chamber one mentioned before.
[[Donnie Wahlberg]] will not be reprising his role as Detective Matthews.<ref>[http://www.donniewahlberg.com/news.htm Donnie Wahlberg official site]</ref>
