From Director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King Of Scotland) comes this gripping thriller about a rogue submarine captain, played by Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes, The Talented My Ripley) who pulls together a misfit crew to search for sunken treasure in the Black Sea.
As greed and desperation take control, the increasing uncertainty of the mission causes the men to turn on each other to fight for their own survival.
