"You know what, I don't know anything. But, we're not going to make it another hour unless I shut this thing down." – Kit Latura

Why watch this? This mini-disaster film is large on action as the noble Stallone works to save people trapped in a flooded tunnel under the Hudson.

Plot Summary: An explosion collapses both ends of an underwater vehicular tunnel, trapping a diverse group of survivors inside. A disgraced former rescue chief, Kit Latura, is the best option to find a way to navigate the treacherous, damaged tunnel to lead the survivors to safety. They must face rising water, collapsing structures, and a dwindling air supply, all while attempting to find a way out.

Dad's Preview: This is straight-forward vintage Stallone, as the lone specialist, willing to to risk his life on a long-shot to save the trapped survivors. Time is running out as the water is rising. I simply love Stallone saving people - there, I said it. Look for a young Viggo Mortenson as the cocky climbing-expert, who is too smart for his own good.
