Plot Synopsis
With the news headlines dominated by unseasonal floods - and with much of the country continuing to struggle under water - the question is how would the Capital cope if such a catastrophe struck?
The adrenalin-fuelled action thriller FLOOD looks at the potentially devastating effects of such an event and the challenge to save our city!
On a bright summer morning, London shines in all its glory – it’s architecture, its iconic river... Meanwhile, in Scotland, a Hurricane crashes into the coast, devastating the sleepy town of Wick. Mountainous tides barrel mercilessly along the North Coast of Britain, heading for London…
Rob Morrison (Robert Carlyle), head of Atlantis Engineering, is just back from holiday and is annoyed to be called to the Thames Barrier for a maintenance check. His ex-wife, Sam, (Jesslyn Gilsig) the Barriers Director of Operations, is the last person he wants to see. Meanwhile his estranged father, engineering genius and professor Leonard Morrison (Tom Courtenay) is desperately attempting to contact the Barrier high command with a warning about the potential ineffectiveness of the structure. Upon receiving the news that a colleague has drowned during the devastation at Wick and with soaring water levels and a unique set of weather conditions closing in, Rob realises that his father’s worst predictions are coming true. Rob, Sam and Leonard must put aside their personal differences to mount an operation to save London from certain destruction.
