Although it has never been officially confirmed, this Star Trek episode is strongly derivative of this Twilight Zone show. In both shows, a group of uniquely different characters, each with a special talent and occupation and who is a stranger to the others, mysteriously awaken in a strange sealed room, held by an unknown captor(s) in an unknown location. Initially hostile and suspicious towards each other, they gradually gain each other's trust as they are forced to work together to devise an escape. This is probably deliberate by the filmmakers.
