🌊 Plot Overview

When marine biologist Ethan Blake (Tom Holland) joins an international expedition to study strange signals from the Mariana Trench, he never expects to uncover the truth behind one of humanity’s oldest myths — mermaids. But these are not the Disney kind.

Led by the enigmatic and powerful Queen Sirelia (Tilda Swinton), a deadly race of mer-creatures rises from the depths, lured by centuries of ocean pollution and disruption. Their purpose is not to coexist — it’s conquest.

Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Marina, a rare hybrid torn between two worlds. With time running out and coastal cities falling into chaos, she must choose where her loyalty lies — with her ocean-born sisters or the dying human world she’s learned to love.
