Open Water

ActionAdventureDramaHorrorThriller79 min

After a scuba-diving excursion goes wrong, vacationing couple Susan and Daniel are left floating miles from shore when their tour boat heads back without them. Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis are the pair at the center of the film, with the open ocean turning from tropical getaway to a blank horizon of sun, exhaustion, and rising panic. Loosely inspired by a true story, the movie stays with the couple as they try to keep track of time, conserve energy, and face what may be moving beneath the surface.
