Released in theaters Oct. 16, the film stars Austin Abrams as Jay Gardiner, a diver searching off California’s Central Coast for his father’s remains when a sperm whale swallows him. Trapped with one hour of oxygen, Jay has to draw on lessons from his father, played by Josh Brolin, to try to escape.
Director Brian Duffield co-wrote the adaptation with Daniel Kraus, whose novel inspired the film. Reuters reported that the survival setup doubles as a story about the turbulent bond between Jay and his father.
