It can be for an entire book or for certain durations. The ones that come to my mind are Jurassic Park where the scientists are trapped not only on an island filled with dinosaurs, but also during a tropical storm. Talk about raising the tension. I also think of Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp where a retired detective is trapped in a skyscraper with terrorists and Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane where a U.S. Marshal is trapped on an island while investigating the disappearance of a woman. Another one that comes to mind is Pale Horse Coming by Stephen Hunter where a former U.S. Marine gets imprisoned in a brutal 1950s prison. It doesn't take up the entire book but he's incarcerated for half of it.
Can you think of other examples where a protagonist or group is trapped for all or most of the book?
