SANCTUM (2011)
SYNOPSIS
The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum, from executive
producer James Cameron, follows a team of
underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to
the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave
system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them
deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water,
deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an
unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank
McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South
Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit
is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team--including
17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier
Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd)--are forced to radically alter
plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate
an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are
confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they
survive, or will they be trapped forever? Shot on
location off the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia,
Sanctum employs 3-D photography techniques
Cameron developed to lens Avatar. Designed to
operate in extreme environments, the technology used
to shoot the action-thriller will bring audiences on a
breathless journey across plunging cliffs and into the
furthest reaches of our subterranean world. -- (C)
