Last Breath is a survival thriller film led by Woody Harrelson. Following its release on February 27, 2025 in Greece, it is scheduled for release in the U.S. on February 28, 2025. The film, directed by Alex Parkinson, is based on a documentary released in 2019.
The film chronicles a harrowing real-life deep sea diving accident in the North Sea. A Scottish diver, Chris Lemons, ends up stranded 300 meters below the sea's surface with a rapidly depleting oxygen supply after a storm cuts off his lifeline.
Lemons' fellow sea divers, along with the ship's crew, launch a desperate rescue mission to save him before time runs out. The movie explores themes of survival under extreme conditions, teamwork, and resilience as it explores the high-risk world of saturation diving.
While Finn Cole stars as Chris Lemons, Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu play the roles of his teammates who are determined to bring him back safely.
