Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Molly Belle Wright, Kelly Gale, Ben Kingsley, Angus Sampson
Deep Water is a 2026 action-thriller directed by Renny Harlin, starring Aaron Eckhart and an international ensemble cast. When a passenger flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai is forced into an emergency ocean landing, the survivors find themselves fighting for their lives against both the elements and relentless sharks drawn to the wreckage.
What is Deep Water about?
Aboard a routine transpacific flight, a diverse group of passengers from different countries and walks of life share little beyond their destination. Then disaster strikes mid-flight, and the aircraft plunges into remote shark-infested waters far from any coast. Suddenly strangers must become allies. Tensions that were simmering at altitude explode into open conflict on the sinking fuselage, yet survival demands cooperation. As the cabin floods and predators circle, each passenger must decide whether their own escape is worth more than someone else's life — a calculation that grows harder with every passing minute and every shadow beneath the surface.
Cast & crew
Finnish-American director Renny Harlin has built a career on high-octane survival spectacle, and he assembles a genuinely international cast here. Aaron Eckhart leads as a passenger thrust into a crisis-management role. Ben Kingsley brings gravitas to a supporting turn, while Kelly Gale and Molly Belle Wright anchor the human drama as the pressure mounts. Angus Sampson, Rosie Zhao, Richard Crouchley, and Rob Kipa-Williams round out the ensemble's cross-cultural dynamic.
Context & significance
Survival thrillers set at sea carry a primal appeal that crosses all cultural borders, and Deep Water delivers that tension with an explicitly global cast — a deliberate choice that resonates with diaspora audiences who have themselves navigated unfamiliar waters far from home. For Persian-speaking viewers, the film arrives fully dubbed in Persian, meaning you can follow every moment of the action and drama in your own language without losing the urgency of the performances. The international co-production spans the United States, Spain, Australia, China, and Ukraine, giving it a scope that feels genuinely worldly rather than narrowly local. Harlin keeps the pacing relentless, so the film works as both a crowd-pleasing Friday-night watch and a shared family viewing experience on the big screen at home.
