The legendary Mel Gibson stars in this edge-of-your-seat action-thriller that explodes into action during a violent category 5 hurricane. As disgraced cop, Cardillo (Emile Hirsch, INTO THE WILD) races to evacuate an apartment building, he comes across Dr. Troy (Kate Bosworth, SUPERMAN RETURNS), and her retired detective father Ray (Gibson). When a murderous gang of thieves arrives to rob a wealthy tenant, they must join forces to battle the criminals and escape with their lives before the entire city is deep underwater.
