Underwater (2020) Movie

Kepler 822, a research and drilling facility operated by Tian Industries at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, is struck by a strong earthquake.

As part of the facility is destroyed by the quake, mechanical engineer Norah Price and her colleagues, Rodrigo Nagenda and Paul Abel, crawl through the wreckage to the escape pod bay.

When they arrive, they discover all the escape pods were deployed by Captain Lucien, who stayed behind “because that’s what captains do.” Together, they reach a control base and find biologist Emily Haversham and engineer Liam Smith, who confirm that there is no contact with the surface.

Lucien suggests using pressurized suits to walk one mile across the ocean floor to the Roebuck 641 station and use their escape pods. Norah is nervous, because they might die from the pressure or run out of oxygen. Lucien asks her to consider that they might live.

Emily panics, because she has never been outside the station and doesn’t even have a pressure suit. While assembling a pressure suit for Emily, Rodrigo finds a helmet with a hairline crack. There are no more helmets, so he makes a quick decision. They help Emily into her suit.

As they descend in the cargo elevator, Rodrigo’s defective helmet implodes under the increasing water pressure. Rodrigo sacrificed himself, so Emily can live.
