Sanctum Page #3

Synopsis: 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?

-You okay?

-Yep, all good.

Okay.

Good to go?

Yeah, let's do it.

See you later.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

"A stately pleasure-dome decree

"Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

"Through caverns measureless to man

"Down to a sunless sea"

There once was a man from Nantucket

whose head was the shape of a bucket.

How are you traveling, George?

Are you with us?

Roger that.

I'm all over you, Judes.

Yeah, you wish.

Settle down, you two.

Let's keep the comms clear.

Yeah, well, let's keep

the poetry to a minimum, then, Frank.

Are you good, Liz?

How long to decompress?

All good. About 10 minutes.

Well, I'll see you in a couple of hours.

Age and treachery

will always overcome youth and skill.

I think that's 50 bucks

you owe me, buddy.

Saddle up.

Okey-dokey. Let's do it.

You're with me, Judes?

I'm on your six, Red Dog Leader.

-What? I can't see it.

-Don't worry about it.

We're about 5 meters from the bottom.

Just follow Josh's light.

You're quite the rappel rat.

Yeah, Dad gets me

every summer for a month.

Lucky you.

I've been dragged along

on these stupid expeditions all my life.

See, it never occurs to him to ask

if I actually like caving.

Yep, Josh is his own man.

He doesn't take after his dad much.

You mean I'm not an emotionally

shut-down Nazi a**hole?

True, but he is also the most

determined cave diver in the world.

Yeah. That's because

he's got nothing else.

Here you go.

Whereabouts are they?

Devil's Restriction.

And let there be light.

Let's put it down here and head on.

Roger that.

Hey, hey, hang on! Hang on!

Sh*t, my accelerator is stuck.

Careful, Judes.

Sh*t. Call the scuba police.

Ouch. Drinks are on you tonight, Judes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's going to be pissed off about that.

Hang on, Judes. Look at this.

What is it?

The silt is pulling

through here pretty fast.

Looks interesting.

Could be a squeeze.

You getting this, George?

Roger that. I'm all good.

What you got there, Frank?

I don't know.

Let's take a peek.

Hey, Vic.

Get some B-roll

for the National Geographic, would you?

Sure.

So, Josh,

do you like caving?

My old man is obsessed

with torches, right?

All cavers are. It's their thing.

Check out what he got me

for my birthday.

It's from a wild boar

that he killed by hand

and ate on his expedition in Borneo.

That's pretty cool, right?

Wrong. He modified it.

Kills this wild boar, eats it,

and then turns it into a torch.

Oh, wow, that's so cool.

No, it's not cool.

That is a caver for you.

They're all, like, "Whoa, I get to

be the first person to check out

"some awesome bit of rock

that looks just like the last 10 miles

"of pointless rock."
