Produced by the Norwegian-based Fantefilm Fiksjon, the team behind the
highly acclaimed The Wave and
The Quake, The Burning Sea takes the company’s trademark tense and
gripping take on the environmental disaster genre and pushes it to a whole
new level.
From director John Andreas Andersen (The Quake) and starring
Kristine Kujath Thorp, Rolf Kristian Larsen, Anders Baasmo, Bjørn
Floberg, Anneke von der Lippe, Ane Skumsvoll, Cengiz Al, Nils Elias
Olsen, The Burning Sea is a nail biting, action-packed thriller
for our times.
In 1969, the Norwegian government announces their discovery of one of the
world's largest oil fields in the neighbouring North Sea, launching a
prosperous period of offshore drilling.
Fifty years later, the environmental consequences begin to manifest - a
crack has opened on the ocean floor, causing a rig to collapse. A team of
researchers, including submarine operator Sofia (Kristine Kujath Thorp),
rushes in to search for the missing and assess the cause of the damage.
But what they discover is that this is just the start of a possible
apocalyptic catastrophe. As rigs are evacuated, Sofia's partner Stian
(Henrik Bjelland) becomes trapped in the depths of the sea, leaving Sofia
to come to his rescue.
The Burning Sea is on UK blu-ray and DVD from July 25th and
we've got two blu-rays to give away.
