Timely yet terrifying, The Flood predicts the unthinkable. When a raging storm coincides with high seas it unleashes a colossal tidal surge, which travels mercilessly down England's East Coast and into the Thames Estuary. Overwhelming the Barrier, torrents of water pour into the city. The lives of millions of Londoners are at stake.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released the same year as another British water disaster film, 'The Walker'—2007 was apparently UK's soggy apocalypse year.
Based on a 2002 novel that scared actual UK flood planners; the real Thames Barrier was designed for 1000-year events, making this technically 'possible' in a sweating-climate future.
