Rob Cohen directs and Sylvester Stallone stars in this urban underwater disaster drama with big-bang special effects by Industrial Light and Magic.

An accidental explosion rips through a jammed commuter tunnel beneath the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey, sealing off both ends and trapping a diverse band of survivors inside.

A disgraced former emergency medical services chief (Stallone) manages to reach them and then struggles through fire, noxious gases, explosions, collapsing walls, massive flooding and rats to lead them to daylight.

Daylight co-stars Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya, Jay O.

Sanders, Karen Young, Claire Bloom and Vanessa Bell Calloway.

Director Cohen works again with Executive Producer Raffaella De Laurentiis, with whom he made Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and Dragonheart.
