📖 Storyline

The Last Breath (2024), also known as Escape from the Deep, is a survival horror thriller directed by Joachim Hedén. The film centers on a group of college friends who reunite for a scuba diving trip in the Caribbean, where they explore the wreckage of a World War II battleship, the USS Charlotte. Their adventure turns perilous as they become trapped inside the underwater labyrinth of rusted metal, surrounded by great white sharks. The story begins with Levi (Julian Sands), an aging expat running a tourist dive business in the British Virgin Islands, and his partner Noah (Jack Parr), a recent college dropout. Levi has devoted his life to finding the elusive wreck of the USS Charlotte, which was sunk by a German torpedo in 1944. When a tropical storm reveals the ship for the first time in eighty years, Noah's visiting friends insist on a once-in-a-lifetime dive before the wreck is handed over to the authorities. As the group ventures into the sunken ship, they find themselves trapped inside its underwater corridors, with their oxygen supplies dwindling and great white sharks lurking nearby. The film combines elements of underwater claustrophobia and shark-induced terror, drawing comparisons to classic shark thrillers.
