In the midst of disaster, hope and survival become the only way forward.
Watch the original version of Poseidon
Prologue:
The Poseidon was a grand cruise ship, renowned for its luxurious amenities and world-class service. It set sail from New York City, headed for the Mediterranean, with a full load of passengers eager to bask in the sun, enjoy gourmet meals, and take part in a variety of fun activities.
Little did they know that their idyllic voyage was about to turn into a nightmare.
Chapter 1: The Wave
The Poseidon was cruising along smoothly, the passengers enjoying their first night on board. Some were drinking at the bar, others dancing in the ballroom, and still others relaxing in their cabins.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the ship began to shake violently. The lights flickered and then went out, plunging the entire ship into darkness.
Panic gripped the passengers as they scrambled to find their way to safety. Some stumbled down the corridors, others climbed up the stairwells, and still others frantically tried to call for help.
As they emerged onto the deck, they were met with a horrifying sight: a massive wave was bearing down on them, towering above the ship like a wall of water.
The passengers had only seconds to react. Some ran for the lifeboats, while others clung to railings, hoping to ride out the wave. But it was no use.
With a deafening roar, the wave struck the Poseidon, sending it tumbling over onto its side. The passengers were flung about like rag dolls, tossed and turned in the chaotic waters.
For a few moments, there was utter chaos. Screams filled the air as passengers struggled to stay afloat or find something to hold onto. But slowly, as the initial shock wore off, they began to realize that they were in a fight for their lives.
As the ship sank deeper into the water, those who were able to swim began to move away from it, hoping to avoid being pulled down with it. Others found makeshift rafts or debris to hold onto. But for many, it seemed like there was no escape.
The survivors were now faced with a harsh reality: they were stranded in the middle of the ocean, with no rescue in sight, and with limited supplies and resources. They would have to band together and rely on their own ingenuity and strength to survive.
As the sun began to rise, the survivors looked out at the horizon, wondering what lay ahead. They had no idea what the future held, but they knew that they would have to be strong, resilient, and united if they were to have any chance of making it through alive.
Chapter 2: The Survivors
The Poseidon was now an overturned and slowly sinking behemoth, bobbing in the waves of the Atlantic. The passengers below deck were thrown around like ragdolls as the ship capsized, and those on the upper decks were thrown into the violent waters. The shock of the wave had knocked the wind out of them, and the cold water made their limbs numb. Most of them were disoriented and confused, and their senses were overwhelmed by the chaos around them.
Mike was one of the lucky few who managed to stay afloat and keep his head above water. He looked around him, trying to assess the situation. He saw hundreds of people struggling to stay alive in the rough seas, some clinging to anything they could hold onto, while others fought against the currents. Screams and cries for help echoed through the air, and overhead the storm raged on. Despite his own desperate situation, Mike felt a sense of obligation to help others.
He quickly spotted an elderly woman nearby who was flailing her arms and gasping for air. He swam over to her as fast as he could, ignoring the stinging pain in his muscles. He reached her side and grabbed onto her, pulling her close to him. “It’s okay, I’ve got you,” he said, trying to calm her down as he kept them both afloat.
But as he looked around him, Mike realized the enormity of their situation. There were too many people to help, and not enough resources to go around. He heard the screams of children and the sound of metal scraping against metal, as the Poseidon slowly sank into the depths of the ocean. The survivors were running out of time.
Mike knew that they needed a plan if they were going to make it out alive. He spotted a group of people huddled together on a nearby piece of debris, and he swam over to them. “We need to stick together,” he said, trying to rally them. “We need to find a way out of here.”
The group consisted of six strangers. Mike was the only one who knew anything about survival in the wild. The others were a mix of people, some young and able-bodied, while others were older or had injuries. One man was bleeding from a head wound, and a young woman was shivering uncontrollably with hypothermia. The odds were not in their favor, but Mike refused to give up.
“Okay,” he said, his voice steady despite the fear that gnawed at him. “We need to find anything that floats, anything we can use to stay afloat. We need to organize ourselves and make sure we’re all accounted for.”
As the group began to search for anything that could keep them afloat, they started to find debris scattered around them. They managed to find some life jackets, a few crates, and even a small inflatable dinghy. It wasn’t much, but it was a start.
Mike took charge of the group, dividing them into teams to search for supplies, check on each other, and keep track of what resources they had. It was a small comfort, but it gave them a sense of control over their situation. They worked together, relying on each other for support and strength.
Hours passed, and the survivors were still in the water, fighting against the storm and the waves. Some were starting to lose hope, and Mike could see the fear and exhaustion etched on their faces. But he refused to let them give up. He kept them motivated, sharing stories of survival and encouraging them to hold on.
As the night wore on, the storm began to subside, and the winds died down. The sea began to calm, and the survivors were able to catch their breath. Mike looked around him, taking stock of the situation. They were still far from land, and the Poseidon was still sinking. But they had survived. And they still had hope.
As the first light of dawn broke, the survivors could see a faint outline on the horizon. Land. They started paddling with all their might towards the shore, fueled by the thought of safety and a chance at survival. They didn’t know what lay ahead, but they knew they had each other. And they were determined to make it out alive.
Chapter 3: The Rescue Plan
The survivors of the Poseidon find themselves in a desperate situation, as they cling to whatever they can find to stay afloat in the tumultuous ocean. But with every passing moment, the chances of survival grow slimmer, and the need for a plan becomes even more pressing.
It falls to a group of resourceful passengers to come up with a rescue plan that will get them out of the sinking ship and to safety. They gather together and begin to brainstorm, considering every possible option and weighing the risks against the rewards.
One of the passengers, a former Navy SEAL named Jack, takes charge of the group and begins to assign tasks. He knows that time is of the essence, and that they must move quickly if they hope to make it out alive.
First, they decide to try and make their way to the top of the ship, where they hope to find a way out. But as they climb up the stairs and through the narrow passageways, they encounter obstacle after obstacle, including debris and other passengers who are in a state of panic.
Despite the challenges, the group remains focused and determined, never losing sight of their goal. They keep pushing forward, using whatever they can find to pry open doors and clear a path through the wreckage.
Finally, after what seems like hours of struggling, they reach the top of the ship, only to discover that they are still trapped. The doors that lead to the outside are sealed shut, and the only way out is through a small ventilation shaft that leads to the surface.
The group realizes that this is their only hope, and they begin to assemble a makeshift ladder using whatever they can find. It’s a risky move, but they all know that it’s their best chance at survival.
With Jack leading the way, they begin to climb up the ladder, one by one, inching their way towards freedom. The shaft is narrow and claustrophobic, and the air is growing thin, but they press on, spurred on by the hope of escape.
As they climb higher and higher, they can feel the pressure mounting, the weight of the water above them threatening to crush them at any moment. But they refuse to give up, their determination and courage keeping them going even in the face of impossible odds.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, they emerge from the shaft, gasping for air and blinking in the bright sunlight. They find themselves on the surface of the ocean, surrounded by wreckage and debris, but alive and free.
It’s a moment of triumph, of joy and relief and gratitude all rolled into one. They look around at each other, their faces lit up with smiles and tears of relief. They know that they still have a long way to go, but they’ve made it through the worst of it, and that’s enough for now.
The survivors paddle towards a nearby lifeboat and climb aboard, their spirits soaring as they feel the boat’s motor roar to life. They know that they still have a long way to go to reach safety, but for now, they’re just happy to be alive.
Chapter 4: The Chase
The survivors had barely escaped from the sinking ship when they realized that they were being pursued by something sinister lurking beneath the waves. At first, they had thought it was just their imagination, but the phantom presence grew stronger and closer with every passing moment.
The group consisted of a motley crew of people, each with their own distinct personality and backstory. There was the wealthy businessman who had been traveling alone, the young couple on their honeymoon, the single mother with her two children, the retired Navy SEAL, and the quirky inventor who had been on his way to showcase his latest invention at a tech conference.
As the group swam towards a makeshift raft constructed from various debris, they could hear the creature’s ominous growls echoing through the murky water. They had no idea what it was, but they knew it was big, fast, and deadly.
The Navy SEAL, who had been trained to handle such situations, had managed to secure a couple of knives from the ship’s kitchen before they escaped. He handed them out to the group, along with some ropes and life jackets, and quickly began to formulate a plan.
“We can’t outrun it,” he said, his eyes scanning the dark water for any signs of movement. “Our only chance is to fight it off. We need to work together and stay focused.”
The survivors nodded in agreement, their hearts pounding with fear and adrenaline.
As they frantically paddled towards the raft, the creature suddenly lunged out of the water, revealing its hideous form. It was a massive octopus, with long, writhing tentacles, a gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth, and eyes that glowed with malevolent intelligence.
The survivors screamed in terror and began to hack at the creature with their knives, hoping to inflict some damage. The Navy SEAL took charge, barking out orders and coordinating their movements.
“Stay together, aim for the eyes and the mouth! Watch out for the tentacles!”
The octopus was relentless, using its powerful suction cups to cling onto the raft and drag it down into the depths. The survivors fought back with all their might, slashing, stabbing, and punching with every ounce of strength they had.
Blood and seawater mixed together in a swirl of chaos and violence as the battle raged on. The octopus’s tentacles wrapped around the survivors, squeezing them tight and threatening to crush their bones. But they refused to give up, determined to survive at all costs.
As the minutes turned into hours, the survivors began to tire. Their muscles ached, their breaths came in ragged gasps, and their spirits started to falter. But still they fought on, fueled by desperation and the will to live.
Finally, as the sun began to rise on the horizon, the octopus retreated back into the depths, defeated but not destroyed. The survivors lay panting and bleeding on the raft, their bodies battered and bruised, but their spirits unbroken.
“We made it,” whispered the single mother, tears streaming down her face. “We actually made it.”
The rest of the group nodded in silent agreement, their eyes flashing with a mixture of relief and triumph. They had faced their greatest fear and emerged victorious, stronger and more resilient than ever before.
As they drifted towards the unknown horizon, the survivors vowed to stick together, to keep fighting, and to never give up hope. For they knew that their journey was far from over, and that they still had many challenges and dangers to face in the days to come.
Chapter 5: The Betrayal
As the survivors huddled together on the sinking ship, fear and desperation began to take hold. They knew that their chances of survival were slim, but they clung to the hope that together they could make it through. But that fragile bond was about to be shattered.
It began with a whispered conversation between two of the survivors, a man and a woman who had seemed friendly enough until now. Their voices were hushed, but the others could sense that something was amiss. They watched nervously as the two conspirators conferred in secret.
As the minutes ticked by, the tension on the ship grew thicker. The survivors were all on edge, wondering what was happening and why the two were acting so suspiciously. Finally, one of them couldn’t take it anymore.
“What’s going on?” she exclaimed. “Why are you two whispering like that? Are you planning something?”
The woman tried to brush off the accusation, but the man was more aggressive. “What if we are?” he snarled. “What if we’re sick of taking orders from you? What if we think we’d be better off on our own?”
The other survivors looked at each other in horror. They had all been through so much together, and now this? They couldn’t believe that anyone could be so callous, so willing to abandon their fellow human beings in such dire circumstances.
But before they could react, the two conspirators had rallied several others to their side. A group of survivors had split off from the main group, muttering darkly about how they were better off without the others.
The remaining survivors were stunned. They had always known that there would be difficult choices to make in this situation, but they had never imagined that anyone would deliberately sabotage their efforts to stay alive. They huddled together, wondering what would happen next.
It didn’t take long to find out. The group that had split off quickly turned violent, attacking anyone who tried to stop them. They tore through the ship like a pack of wild animals, destroying everything in their path.
The remaining survivors were powerless to stop them. They were vastly outnumbered and outgunned, and they knew that any attempt to fight back would be futile. They could only watch in horror as the mutineers took control of the ship.
And then, just as suddenly as it had started, it was over. The mutineers had achieved their goal, and they had no interest in prolonging the violence. They quickly took control of a lifeboat and rowed away, leaving the remaining survivors to pick up the pieces.
In the aftermath of the betrayal, the survivors were left reeling. They had lost friends and allies, and they had been forced to confront the ugly truth that not everyone was committed to the same goal of survival. But even in the face of such darkness, they knew that they had to keep fighting. They still had hope, and they still had each other.
Chapter 6: The Sacrifice
The group of survivors had come so far and faced so much, but now they were faced with their toughest decision yet: sacrifice one of their own to save the rest. It was a decision that no one wanted to make, but it was the only way they could ensure that at least some of them would make it out alive.
Everyone looked around, trying to decide who should be the one to make the sacrifice. Each person silently hoped that it wouldn’t be them, but at the same time, they knew that the longer they waited, the less likely it was that any of them would make it out alive.
The group had dwindled down to just a handful of survivors, each of them feeling the weight of their situation. There was Marcus, the former soldier who had taken charge from the start; Jemma, the young woman who had lost her fiance in the initial chaos; and Jacob, the wealthy businessman who had been forced to confront his own mortality.
As they discussed their options, tensions began to rise. Everyone had their own idea of who should be sacrificed, and no one was willing to make the decision lightly. Marcus knew that he had to take charge and make the tough call.
“Listen up, everyone,” he said, his voice commanding. “We need to decide who’s going to make the sacrifice. We can’t just sit here and waste time.”
The group fell silent, each person looking at the others with a mixture of fear and determination. Finally, Jemma spoke up.
“I’ll do it,” she said, her voice shaking but resolute.
Everyone looked at her, surprised. Jemma was the youngest and the least experienced of the survivors, but she seemed to have made up her mind.
“No way,” said Jacob. “You’re too valuable to us. We need everyone we can get.”
But Jemma was insistent. “I’m the only one who can swim the longest distance,” she said. “I can make it to shore and get help.”
Marcus knew that Jemma was right. She was the only one who had a chance of making it to safety, and if anyone was going to make the sacrifice, it should be her.
“Okay, Jemma,” he said. “I’ll go with you. We’ll swim for shore while the others wait here.”
The two of them began to prepare, tying themselves together with a makeshift rope and preparing for the long swim ahead. As they got ready, the rest of the survivors watched silently, hoping and praying that they would succeed.
Finally, they were ready. Jemma and Marcus took a deep breath and dove into the water, the rest of the survivors watching them disappear into the distance.
For what felt like hours, the rest of the survivors waited, their hearts pounding with fear and anxiety. They knew that there was a chance that Jemma and Marcus wouldn’t make it, and they were preparing themselves for the worst.
But then, in the distance, they saw something that filled them with hope. Two figures were approaching, swimming towards the shore with all their might.
As Jemma and Marcus swam closer, the survivors could see that they were exhausted, but determined. They had made it through the treacherous waters and had come out the other side.
The survivors cheered as Jemma and Marcus made it to the shore, collapsing onto the sand in exhaustion. They had made the sacrifice that needed to be made, and in doing so, they had given the rest of the survivors a chance at survival.
As the group recovered, they knew that they still had a long road ahead of them. But with Jemma and Marcus leading the way, they were ready to face whatever obstacles lay ahead.
Chapter 7: The Escape
The survivors had finally made it to the surface of the water after enduring hours of chaos and destruction. They floated on pieces of debris, using whatever they could find to stay afloat. The waves were still rough, and not all of them were able to hold on. The group was still in danger, and they knew it.
One woman, named Sarah, was barely conscious from the beating she had taken. Her husband, Tom, had been holding on to her, but she was slipping away. Her breathing was shallow, and she had lost a lot of blood. The group knew they needed to get her medical attention as soon as possible, but they had no idea where they were.
Just as it seemed like all hope was lost, they saw land in the distance. It was a small island, but they knew that it was their only option. They began to paddle towards it, using whatever they could find as makeshift oars. They were exhausted, but the adrenaline kept them going.
As they got closer to the island, they could see that it was surrounded by jagged rocks, and the waves were still rough. They had to find a way to get to the shore without being crushed against the rocks. They decided to wait until the waves calmed down a bit before attempting to make the final push to land.
The hours ticked by as they waited for the waves to calm. The sun was setting, and they knew that they didn’t have much time left. They huddled together on the makeshift rafts, trying to keep warm and conserve their energy. Finally, the ocean settled, and they knew it was time to make their move.
They paddled towards the shore, dodging rocks and fighting against the current. The survivors were exhausted, but they knew that they had to keep going. They could see the shore getting closer and closer, and their spirits lifted. But just as they were about to reach the land, disaster struck.
The current had shifted, and the waves grew stronger. A massive wave came crashing down on the survivors, sending them tumbling off their rafts and throwing them towards the shore. They were battered and bruised, but they had made it. They had survived.
The survivors collapsed on the sand, gasping for air and trying to catch their breath. They were battered and bruised, but they were alive. They looked around at each other, and they knew that they had formed a bond that would never be broken. They had fought together, and they had survived together.
But their battle was far from over. They were stranded on the island, with no way to call for help. They had to find a way to survive until they could be rescued. They began to explore the island, looking for food and water. They found a freshwater stream, and they knew that they could survive for a few days at least.
As they settled in for the night, they knew that they had a long road ahead of them. They had survived the Poseidon, but the island held its own dangers. They knew that they had to stay strong and fight for each other if they were going to make it out alive.
Chapter 8: The Aftermath
As the survivors looked back at their journey on the Poseidon, they couldn’t believe that they had made it out alive. The chaotic events of the past few days had transformed them all. They had witnessed the darkest sides of human nature and the best of it too. Their lives had been forever changed by this experience, and it was clear that they would never forget it.
The group of survivors had made it to safety on a nearby island. They were exhausted, injured, and deeply traumatized. They had lost so much in such a short amount of time. Parents had lost children, siblings had lost siblings, and friends had lost friends. But they had also gained something as well. They had gained a new family – one that had been forged through unimaginable circumstances.
As they began to get settled on the island, they started to reflect on their journey, and what it had meant to them. They had been forced to confront their deepest fears and overcome insurmountable obstacles. Some had emerged from the experience stronger than ever, while others struggled to cope with the aftermath.
There were two survivors who had formed an unlikely bond, Lucas and Sarah. Lucas was a firefighter who had lost his family in a house fire, while Sarah was a young woman traveling alone on the cruise ship. They had been thrown together by the events of the Poseidon, and had quickly formed a close friendship.
As they sat together on the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore, they talked about their future. “I don’t know if I can go back to my old life,” Lucas said. “I’ve seen too much, and lost too much. I want to do something meaningful with my life.”
Sarah nodded in agreement. “I know what you mean. I’ve been thinking about that too. Maybe we can do something together – something that will make a difference.”
Lucas smiled. “I like the sound of that.”
As they talked, the other survivors gathered around them. They were all looking for a sense of purpose now that they had been given a second chance at life. They began to brainstorm ideas, and before long they had come up with a plan.
They would start a charity – one that would help people who had been through traumatic experiences. They would use their own experiences to help others heal and move forward. The group of survivors, once strangers thrown together by fate, had now become something more. They had become a family, bonded by their shared experiences and a desire to make a difference in the world.
As the sun began to set on the island, the survivors sat around a campfire, sharing stories and laughing. They had been through hell, but they had come out the other side – battered and bruised, but alive. They knew that they would never forget what they had been through, but they also knew that they had gained something precious – a newfound appreciation for life, a deep bond with one another, and a sense of purpose that would guide them on their journey forward.
The waves crashed against the shore, a reminder of the power and unpredictability of the ocean. But the survivors no longer feared it. They had been through worse, and had come out stronger for it. As they sat together, watching the flames dance in the fire, they knew that they had found something truly special – a family that they would cherish for the rest of their lives.

The Poseidon is upside down in the ocean, with survivors struggling to stay afloat, screaming and shouting for help. The scene focuses on Sean, a middle-aged man, and Lisa, a young woman, who are clinging onto a floating piece of debris.
SEAN
(panting)
Are you okay?
LISA
(sobbing)
No, I can’t…I can’t swim!
Sean notices that Lisa is holding onto the debris too tightly and her knuckles are turning white.
SEAN
(urgently)
Let go of the debris and try to swim. I’ll hold onto you.
Lisa looks at Sean, scared and unsure.
LISA
(trembling)
I can’t…
SEAN
(firmly)
You can do it. Trust me.
Lisa takes a deep breath, nods, and lets go of the debris. Sean holds onto her tightly and starts swimming towards a nearby door which is floating in the water.
As they swim, they see other passengers struggling to stay alive. Some of them are holding onto floating objects, while others are trying to swim towards the surface.
SEAN
(to Lisa)
Keep swimming. We have to reach that door.

Scene 3: The Rescue Plan
FADE IN:
INT. POSEIDON CRUISE SHIP – MAIN DECK – DAY
The survivors are gathered around a table, huddled together in a tight group. They are all soaking wet and shivering, but determined to come up with a plan to escape the sinking ship.
ELISE, a resourceful and quick-thinking passenger, is leading the group.
ELISE
Okay, we need to find a way out of here. We need to get to the surface and get help.
JOHN, a former Navy SEAL and the most experienced member of the group, nods in agreement.
JOHN
I’ve been thinking about it. We can use the air ducts to make our way up to the bridge. From there, we can try to send out a distress signal.
SARA, a young woman with a medical background, chimes in.
SARA
But what about the others? The people who are trapped in their cabins? We have to try to help them too.
ELISE
We will. But first, we need to get to safety ourselves. We can’t help anyone if we don’t make it out of here alive.
Suddenly, there is a loud banging sound from outside the door. The survivors jump back in fear.
ELISE
What was that?
JOHN
It’s probably the rest of the passengers. We need to let them in and get them to safety as well.
Elise nods in agreement, and the survivors rush to unlock the door. As they do, water rushes in from the hallway, nearly knocking them off their feet.
SARA
We have to hurry!
The survivors make their way through the flooded hallways, fighting against the rising tide. They reach the stairwell and begin to climb, their footsteps echoing against the metal walls.
A few moments later, they reach the air ducts and begin to crawl their way through. It’s cramped and claustrophobic, but they push through, driven by the hope of making it out alive.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, they emerge onto the bridge. The entire ship is tilting at an alarming angle, and the survivors struggle to keep their balance.
Elise rushes to the communication console and begins to send out a distress signal. John looks around, trying to find a way to get everyone off the ship.
JOHN
There’s a lifeboat on the starboard side. We can use that to get to safety.
The survivors rush to the lifeboat, dodging debris and dodging waves. They manage to launch the boat and begin rowing away from the sinking ship.
As they row, they can hear the ship creaking and groaning behind them. They know that they’ve escaped, but they also know that there are many more challenges and dangers ahead.
FADE OUT.
Scene 4
INT. CRUISE SHIP – NIGHT
The surviving passengers, including JOEY, a scrappy mechanic, and EMMA, a quiet accountant, huddle together in a life raft as they try to outrun the monstrous predator that’s been chasing them. They hear a loud thud from beneath the raft, causing everyone to jump in fright.
JOEY
What was that?! Is it still following us?
EMMA
(eyes wide with fear)
I don’t know! Can we go any faster?
Joey frantically tries to paddle the raft faster, but the current is too strong.
Suddenly, they hear a loud screeching noise, and the water around them turns red.
JOEY
(screaming)
We’re under attack! Everyone paddle for your life!
The passengers paddle as fast as they can, trying to escape the jaws of the monster that’s now tearing apart the bottom of their raft.
EMMA
(crying)
We can’t keep this up! We need to do something!
JOEY
(panting)
I have an idea. If we can create a diversion, we might be able to distract it long enough to get away.
The passengers listen intently as Joey explains his plan.
Cut to:
EXT. OCEAN – NIGHT
The passengers, led by Joey and Emma, use whatever they can find on the raft to create a makeshift bomb. They light the fuse and toss it overboard as they paddle away as fast as they can.
Suddenly, the bomb explodes, causing a huge explosion that engulfs the monster in flames.
The passengers cheer triumphantly as they watch the monster sink back into the depths of the ocean.
EMMA
(smiling through tears)
We did it! We survived!
JOEY
(panting, but relieved)
Yeah, but we’re not out of the woods yet. We need to find a way to get rescued before it’s too late.
Scene 5
FADE IN:
INT. SHIP’S CABIN – DAY
The survivors are gathered in a small cabin, their faces tense and angry.
CAPTAIN: (addressing the group) We need to stick together if we’re going to make it through this.
FRED: (shouting) Stick together? After what just happened, you expect us to trust each other?
SUE: (nodding in agreement) He’s right. One of us is a traitor. How are we supposed to know who to trust?
CAPTAIN: We don’t know yet. But we can’t let our fear tear us apart. We have to work together to find a way out of this.
JACK: (suspicious) And how do we know you’re not the one who’s working against us?
CAPTAIN: (firmly) I’m not. I’ve been trying to help you all from the beginning. But I understand your suspicion. That’s why I’ve come up with a plan.
The survivors look at him expectantly.
CAPTAIN (CONT’D): We’ll split up into two groups. Each group will have a leader. You’ll each take a different route to safety, and we’ll see who makes it there first.
SUE: (skeptical) And what if one group sabotages the other?
CAPTAIN: (smiling) That’s the beauty of my plan. Each group will have a different way of making it to safety. If one group fails, the other group still has a chance.
The survivors look at each other, considering the captain’s words.
JACK: (nodding) Okay. I’m in.
FRED: (grudgingly) Me too.
SUE: (smiling) Count me in.
The captain nods, satisfied.
CAPTAIN: Good. We’ll split into two groups now. I’ll lead one group, and Jack, you lead the other.
The survivors nod, and start to gather their things.
FADE OUT.
Scene 6
INT. UNDERWATER CAVE – DAY
The survivors swim frantically through the dark, narrow underwater cave, their flashlights casting eerie shadows on the rocky walls.
LEO, a ruggedly handsome man in his late thirties, leads the way with a determined look on his face. BECCA, a beautiful and intelligent woman in her early twenties, follows closely behind him.
LEO: We’re almost there. Just a little further.
BECCA: (panting) I don’t know if I can make it. I’m running out of air.
LEO: (urgent) You have to keep going, Becca. We’re almost out of this cave. We can’t turn back now.
Suddenly, they hear a bloodcurdling scream from one of the other survivors further back in the cave.
LEO: (whispering) Shit. They found us.
BECCA: (innocently) Who?
LEO: (grimly) The ones who want to sacrifice us. We have to hurry.
They swim faster, the tension mounting with each passing second. Finally, they reach the end of the cave, where a narrow tunnel leads up to the surface.
LEO: (urgently) Becca, take this. (hands her a small oxygen tank)
BECCA: (surprised) What about you?
LEO: (determinedly) I’ll be fine. Just go.
Becca hesitates for a moment, then takes the oxygen tank and begins to swim up the tunnel. Leo stays behind, watching her go, then turns to face the oncoming danger.
Suddenly, a group of survivors swim into view, brandishing knives and other weapons.
SURVIVOR 1: (menacingly) We found you, Leo. You can’t escape us.
LEO: (calmly) I’m not trying to.
He takes a deep breath, then dives straight into the midst of the attackers, his fists flying. A violent struggle ensues, with Leo fighting off one attacker after another. But he is outnumbered, and soon the attackers overpower him.
SURVIVOR 2: (grinning) You’re going to make a fine sacrifice.
They drag Leo away, leaving Becca alone to make her escape. The tension builds as the viewer wonders what will become of Leo and whether Becca will make it to safety.

Scene 7: The Escape
FADE IN:
EXT. ISLAND SHORE – DAY
The survivors are standing on the shore, staring out at the vast ocean in front of them. In the distance, they can see a small boat bobbing on the waves.
JIM, a rugged and resourceful survivor, turns to the others.
JIM
“All right, everyone. This is it. We have to get to that boat and get off this island before it’s too late.”
The others nod in agreement.
KATE, a tough and resilient survivor, speaks up.
KATE
“What about the creature? We can’t just leave it here to terrorize other people who might come to this island.”
JIM
“We’ll take care of it. But right now, our priority is getting off this island alive. Let’s go.”
The group sets off at a jog, making their way across the rocky terrain towards the boat.
As they run, they hear a low growling noise behind them. They turn to see the creature emerging from the trees, its eyes fixed on them.
JIM
“Keep moving! We’ll deal with it later!”
The survivors sprint towards the boat, dodging the creature’s attacks as they go.
As they reach the boat, they climb in and start the engine. The creature is hot on their heels, snarling and snapping at them.
JIM
“Get the harpoons ready! We have to take it down!”
The survivors grab the harpoons and start firing them at the creature. It dodges and weaves, but they manage to hit it in the chest.
As the creature thrashes in pain, the survivors turn the boat around and head back towards the shore, leaving the island behind them.
CUT TO:
EXT. OCEAN – DAY
The survivors are sitting in the boat, catching their breath and staring out at the endless expanse of ocean in front of them.
KATE
“It’s over. We made it.”
JIM
“Barely. But we did it together.”
The survivors smile and nod, grateful for the bond they’ve formed through their ordeal.
FADE OUT.
