Synopsis

Mia is a teenager that has to mote to New Mexico and adapt to a new family with his father, Grant. While Grant spends some time working as an investigator in an ancient mayan city that lies in the deep sea, Mia starts to spend more of her time with Sasha, her stepsister. Mia, in her attempt to get along with them, takes Sasha and two of her friends to the underwater cave where Grant works and, without any supervision, they decide to dive into it. What initially started as the wonderful plan of four girls to explore an ancient underwater city in the sea in a diving expedition, might turn into the worst nightmare of their lives as soon as they realize they have entered the forbidden territory of the deadliest shark alive in the oceans: the white shark. Through labyrinths made of submerged caves, claustrophobic tunnels and the progressive lack of oxygen, the young protagonist and her partners will have to face the nature's more violent side and manage to escape from the are alive, 47 meters down the sea with no clear options to survive. '47 Meters Down: Uncaged' is brought by the same director as the first part, Johannes Roberts. Starring John Corbett ('Sex in New York'), Nia Long ('Big Momma's House') and Sophie Nélisse ('The Book Thief').

Trivia

  • Better than expected

    The first instalment of this franchise nearly ended being a direct to video product. However, the profitability achieved in theaters made the production of this sequel possible. '47 meters down' transformed 5 million dollars in 62.

  • Bad coordination

    Dimension Films was the DVD distribution company for this films, but Entertainment Studios bought the rights with plans for a theatrical release. However, some of the DVD of 'In the deep' (first title of the film) had already been sold, making the film illegally accesible on the internet.

  • Like fathers, like daughters

    Two daughters of famous actors have a part in this film. Corine Foxx (Sasha) is Jamie Foxx's daughter and Sistine Stallone (Nicole) is Sylvester Stallone's daughter.

  • Life Aquatic

    The actresses had to act inside a water tank for weeks. They couldn't breathe and listen to each other at the same time because of the oxygen masks. Eating was heavily scheduled to avoid digestive problems; this, along with the constant exercise, left them exhausted every day.

  • Bad jokes

    Although the sharks in the film were added digitally, a mechanical shark was used to make acting easier. It was also used for other purposes. Brianne Tju was heavily scared after finding the shark, that had been hidden by the crew inside one of the set caves.
