Overview

A British survival thriller following three astronauts trapped in their capsule as it sinks in the ocean after their vessel is forced off course during re-entry. Directed by and starring Idris Elba alongside Caitlin FitzGerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, the film was shot at Pinewood Studios in London utilising the facility's underwater studio capabilities. Our VFX work encompassed large-scale ocean and water simulations, particle effects, fire and smoke effects, and compositing to create the harrowing conditions surrounding the sinking capsule — balancing scientific plausibility with visceral cinematic tension.
