About this film

Following the death of his father, Jay Gardiner goes diving off the central Coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale. While trapped inside its belly with only one hour of oxygen left, Jay comes to realize that the hard-earned lessons his father imparted may be the key to his escape.

Action Pick

A single-location survival thriller with a ticking oxygen clock

Brian Duffield traps diver Jay Gardiner inside a sperm whale with one hour of air left, turning a search for his late father's remains into a desperate fight to escape. Austin Abrams carries the pressure with Josh Brolin and Elisabeth Shue in support, and the claustrophobic tension plays huge on a big screen. There are plenty of English screenings this week, so it is easy to catch.
