Synopsis

"The lucky ones died in the blast."

From the directors of FRONTIER(S) and HITMAN.

When nuclear warheads blitz Manhattan, nine strangers - Lauren German (HOSTEL: PART II), Michael Biehn (ALIENS, TOMBSTONE), Milo Ventimiglia (HEROES), Courtney B Vance (LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT), Ivan Gonzalez, Michael Eklund (HUNT TO KILL), Ashton Holmes (REVENGE) and Rosanna Arquette (PULP FICTION) join together barricading themselves in their apartment building’s basement, under the control of their disturbed superintendent.

After a few days holed up in their bunker, the supplies in the basement are dwindling and tempers begin to flare-up as the trapped survivors find themselves overcome by treachery, madness, sexual torment and savage violence.

What follows is intense. It is raw. And it is all brutally, horrifyingly real. This is THE DIVIDE.
