🌊 Plot Summary

A decade after the Battle of the Pacific, Earth’s waters are calm… but only on the surface. When a long-buried alien beacon deep beneath the Arctic is reactivated, the U.S. Navy discovers it was never just a distress call—it was an invitation for war.

Now, a second wave is coming. More intelligent. More coordinated. And more dangerous than ever.

Liam Neeson returns as Admiral Terrance Shane, now retired but forced back into command when humanity’s naval defense grid is compromised. He recruits Jason Statham as Commander Jack Rourke, a rogue British naval officer with a checkered past but unmatched submarine warfare skills. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot joins the force as Dr. Eliana Voss, a brilliant marine physicist who uncovers the terrifying truth behind the aliens’ new strategy: they’re not here to invade. They’re here to terraform.

Together, they must unite rival fleets, survive ambushes in the Mariana Trench, and launch an impossible mission—destroying an enemy base buried inside a sub-oceanic volcano before Earth’s oceans are converted into alien territory forever.
