Warner Bros. releases “The Meg” movie
|
|
|
|
|
Warner Bros.’ Jason Statham-led sci-fi thriller, “The Meg”, pits the action
star against a previously thought extinct prehistoric shark with a big
appetite and even bigger set of teeth. Directed by Jon Turteltaub, the
movie released in the theatres on Friday, 10th August 2018.
|
|
|
A deep-sea submersible part of an international undersea observation
program has been attacked by a massive creature and now lies
disabled at the bottom of the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean with its
crew trapped inside. With time running out, former deep-sea rescue
diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is drawn out of self-imposed exile by a
visionary Chinese oceanographer, Dr. Zhang (Winston Chao), against
the wishes of his daughter, Suyin (Li Bingbing), who thinks she can
rescue the crew on her own, from this seemingly unstoppable threat - a
prehistoric 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon.
|
|
|
5 years before, Jonas had encountered this same terrifying creature,
but no one had believed him. Teamed with Suyin, Jonas must confront
his fears and risk his own life to return to the ocean depth bringing him
face to face once more with the apex predator of all time.
