Synopsis
"The only way out is down."
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 on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, SANCTUM
employs 3D 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.
