Movie Summary

A team of explorers is trapped in an underground cave system when a tropical storm closes the entrance to the cave. This claustrophobic drama is inspired by the real life adventure of Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) from director Alister Grierson and executive producer James Cameron. McGuire, a master diver descends into caves in South Asia along with his team including his teenage son, Josh (Rhys Wakefield), and expedition bankroller Carl Hurley (Loan Gruffudd) are forced deeper into the cave after the entrance collapses. With supplies quickly dwindling and water levels rapidly rising, Frank and his team believe their best hope for survival is to follow an uncharted underground river thought to empty into the ocean.
