The 2021 disaster epic from John Andreas Andersen tells the story of an environmental apocalypse threatening countless lives. After discovering a large oil field in the North Sea, the Norwegian government approves a lucrative offshore drilling project. Decades later, the long-term environmental side effects begin to show as the ocean floor cracks open, leading to the collapse of an oil rig. Sofia leads a submarine rescue mission to evacuate the rig and search for missing workers. When her partner Stian gets trapped at the bottom of the ocean, Sofia embarks on a diving journey to save him.
