Underwater is a tense, survival horror film set in the depths of the ocean, where a group of oil rig workers must battle to survive after a catastrophic earthquake devastates their drilling station. The film follows Norah Price (Kristen Stewart), a resourceful and resilient mechanical engineer, as she becomes one of the sole survivors of the disaster. As the ocean floor collapses around her, Norah and a handful of other survivors must navigate a perilous, submerged environment filled with dangerous creatures and treacherous terrain.

With their escape route blocked by the destruction, the survivors are forced to journey across the ocean floor to reach a distant safe haven—a nearby drilling station that still has the potential to save them.

Along the way, they encounter mysterious and monstrous underwater creatures, adding a terrifying element to their already life-threatening situation. The characters must rely on each other, their instincts, and their limited resources to overcome both the natural dangers of the deep sea and the unknown threats that lurk beneath the surface.

At its core, Underwater explores themes of survival, courage, and the resilience of the human spirit when faced with overwhelming odds. Norah’s character arc revolves around her determination to keep moving forward despite the crushing despair and fear she faces, as she is forced to overcome both her personal grief and the monstrous threats surrounding her.

The film’s claustrophobic and suffocating atmosphere creates a constant sense of dread, while the deep-sea setting amplifies the isolation and vulnerability of the characters.

Blending elements of disaster survival and creature horror, Underwater delivers a pulse-pounding, high-stakes adventure. With its intense action sequences, suspenseful atmosphere, and a strong central performance by Kristen Stewart, the film serves as a gritty and immersive thriller set in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
