In 2012, three deep-sea divers were on a routine operation in the North Sea when one of them became trapped underwater. Liu had to dive in deep, dark water in order to recreate the harrowing rescue.

With "Last Breath," Alex Parkinson — already an acclaimed documentarian behind such features as the Emmy-nominated "Lucy, the Human Chimp" (2021), "Living With Leopards" (2024) and, yes, "Last Breath" (2018) — makes his narrative feature film debut working with stars Woody Harrelson,

Get to know the "absolutely astonishing" true story behind the new movie "Last Breath," which chronicles a 2012 deep-sea diving accident.

Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu race to save a deep-sea diving colleague in this dramatization of a true-story search and rescue.

In September 2012, while attempting to repair an oil pipeline off the coast of Scotland, the diving support ship Bibby Topaz lost control of the automated system of thrusters that held it in place above the repair crew. Buffeted by winds and swells, the ship began to drift away from the divers, 300 feet below on the ocean floor.

The new thriller "Last Breath" generates gripping suspense in its depiction of a terrifying underwater rescue.

“Last Breath” continues an ongoing trend of fictionalized remakes of the events covered in a prior documentary. This movie uses the 2019 documentary of the same name as its basis.

With no new big titles on the marque and most of the top nominated pictures now available in the home, Marvel's superhero pic easily stayed atop the chart in its third outing with $15 million.

Based on a true story, Alex Parkinson’s film recounting a diving job gone awry and the attempts to save stranded workers before time runs out doesn’t give its cast—including Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu—enough room to breathe.

Last Breath is not streaming on Netflix or Prime Video, and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that, in the U.S., the film is a Focus Features release. Focus Features is a subsidiary of Universal Studios, and almost all Universal movies go to the Universal-owned streaming platform, Peacock.
