Directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura, the film follows the Delgado family, who find themselves trapped in their Seattle home for several years due to a mysterious storm of torrential saltwater rain and the emergence of ancient ocean creatures. As resources dwindle, the family must confront unknown entities outside. Prior to the release, a promotional photocall was held at the Soho Hotel in London on 2 August 2026.
