What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The central crisis depends on a trapped diver, severed support systems, hostile depths, and the crew's limited ability to reach him.
The divers, captain, supervisor, and surface crew must balance operational risk against their determination to recover a crewmate.
The feature is a fictionalized dramatization of a true event and incorporates CCTV material associated with the real incident.
The North Sea and the diver's position hundreds of feet below the surface turn open water into an isolating, pressurized environment.
