The Sanctum


17-year-old Josh McGuire (Rhys Wakefield), expedition bank-roller Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd) and his girlfriend, Victoria (Alice Parkinson), travel to the Esa'ala Cave, an underwater cave exploration site in Papua New Guinea. Josh's father Frank (Richard Roxburgh), a master diver, has already established a forward base camp at a lower level inside the cave, where the team have been exploring for weeks.
While exploring a section of the cave known as Devil's Restriction, Frank and diver Judes (Allison Cratchley) meet with an accident which results in Judes' death, fuelling arguments and speculation among the group.
Unaware that a fierce storm has developed topside, it is discovered that communications with the surface have broken down. The storm causes a portion of the cave system collapse, trapping the remaining divers below. With the water level quickly rising, the group must now attempt to find an exit route through the unexplored depths of the cave, in the hopes of finding a path that leads to the sea.
