Storyline
The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

Trivia
The cave itself was also quite obviously based on the Cheve/Chaco/etc expeditions in the Yucatan, and the father character was likely based on Bill Stone, the caver/diver who was instrument in those expeditions as well as in the invention of the re-breather. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Josh first descends into the surface pit, he's Aussie rappelling with his rack attached to his back. When he reaches his the gal part way down, his rack's in front. See more »Quotes
