Recent events have brought the danger of deep sea exploration roaring back into the spotlight. All of the preparation and money in the world can’t prepare you for the many threats of the sea, and they don’t all involve sharks looking to turn you into fish food. You’re basically at the mercy of Mother Nature, as is the case in the new thriller, The Dive.
Starring Louisa Krause (The Girlfriend Experience) and Blow the Man Down breakout Sophie Lowe, the film follows two sisters who go deep-sea diving in a remote location, only for a destructive landslide to send rocks crashing into the water, trapping one of them beneath the sea. With oxygen fading fast, it’s up to the other sibling to fight so that they both can survive.
The film is directed by German filmmaker Max Erlenwein, and looks like a pulse-pounding, nerve-racking race against time.
The Dive opens in theaters on August 25th.
A deep-sea diving trip at one of the world’s most remote spots becomes a fight for survival for sisters Drew and May when a catastrophic landslide sends rocks tumbling into the sea. After being struck by the rockfall, May now lies 28 meters below the surface, trapped by debris and unable to move. With dangerously low levels of oxygen, it is up to Drew to fight for her sister’s life. She must put her own life in jeopardy and risk paying the ultimate sacrifice. But with no help in sight, time is quickly running out…
