Synopsis

Timely, yet terrifying, this movie predicts the unthinkable. When a raging storm coincides with high seas it unleashes a colossal tidal surge, which travels mercilessly down England's East Coast and into the Thames Estuary. Overwhelming the Barrier, torrents of water pour into the city. The lives of millions of Londoners are at stake. Top marine engineers and barrier experts Robert Morrison (Robert Carlyle),his ex-wife Samantha "Sam" Morrison (Jessalyn Gilsig),and his father Professor Leonard Morrison (Sir Tom Courtenay),have only a few hours to save the city from total devastation. A real probability in a real location. It is not a question of if, but when London floods.
