There are several scenes in small spaces, including cars, and an airplane bathroom. None of these scenes are played out to be particularly claustrophobic as the main focus, but it may cause a very claustrophobic person to panic.

A scene features many people getting forced into a cramped claustrophobic space. Many people are screaming during the scene and IMO would definitely be triggering towards people with Claustrophobia.

(SPOILERS) Several important scenes take place in a secret underground bunker. This space has several rooms and is as large as a small apartment, but the scenes do feel claustrophobic anyway.

Amy, the claustrophobic character, is occasionally locked in small spaces and experiences anxiety. The cast as a whole is occasionally trapped in a specific room for humor or plot points, but they are not generally tense.

A character is trapped in a well. Another character must find their way out of a completely dark basement while trying to avoid being killed. Dr. Lecter's cell is rather small as well, and he remains in it for much of the film.
