Idris Elba stars alongside Caitlin FitzGerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and he also co-directs with Martin Owen.
In the new trailer, the stranded crew races against time, facing impossible choices, mounting odds and fresh dangers beneath the waves. Every breath could be their last. The film blends action and science fiction with its survival story, and it is set to arrive in cinemas in December 2026.
