The legendary Mel Gibson stars in this edge-of-your-seat action-thriller that explodes 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 (Mel Gibson, Braveheart). 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.

The script was originally written by former Cracked Writers Michael Swaim and Abe Epperson, but was stolen by the production company and later attributed to Cory Miller. In May 2019, Kate Bosworth and Mel Gibson were announced to star in the film, with Michael Polish directing. Further cast announcements occurred from June to September: Emile Hirsch, Stephanie Cayo, David Zayas and Jasper Polish. Principal photography began in July 2019.

Synopsis :
A gang of thieves plan a heist during a hurricane and encounter trouble when a cop tries to force everyone in the building to evacuate.
