The Deep
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur
Produced by BlueEyes Productions, Filmhuset Produksjoner
A harrowing true-survival drama that transforms a man's battle against the freezing sea into a meditation on human resilience and the inexplicable will to live.
Based on an astonishing true incident that took place on the frigid seas off Iceland in 1984, The Deep fashions a modern-day everyman myth about the sole survivor of a shipwreck, whose superhuman will to survive made him both an inexplicable scientific phenomenon and a genuine national hero.
