Plot Summary:
A high-stakes disaster thriller, Daylight delivers edge-of-your-seat action as Sylvester Stallone fights against time in a deadly underground catastrophe.
The story begins when a massive explosion in the Holland Tunnel between New York and New Jersey traps a group of survivors beneath the Hudson River. Toxic fumes, rising water levels, and unstable debris make rescue attempts nearly impossible. Enter Kit Latura (Stallone), a former emergency services chief who, despite being haunted by past failures, risks everything to get inside and save the trapped civilians.
Inside the tunnel, Kit must navigate crumbling structures, flooding tunnels, and dwindling oxygen while leading a diverse group of survivors that includes a struggling playwright (Amy Brenneman), a cocky adrenaline junkie (Viggo Mortensen), and an elderly couple trying to reunite with their dog. As time runs out, Kitโs survival instincts and engineering knowledge become the only hope for escape.
With intense action, thrilling set pieces, and Stalloneโs classic heroism, Daylight captures the spirit of 90s disaster films, offering a suspenseful, visually impressive adventure that keeps audiences on edge until the very last moment.
