Daylight (1996)
Survivors of a spectacular tunnel collapse face relentless peril as a former EMS chief guides them through the gritty wreckage.
A group of armed robbers fleeing the police head for the New Jersey Tunnel and run right into trucks transporting toxic waste. The spectacular explosion that follows results in both ends of the tunnel collapsing and the handful of people who survived the explosion are now in peril. Kit Latura is the only man with the skill and knowledge to lead the band of survivors out of the tunnel before the structure collapses.
How intense is Daylight?
Daylight is mildly scary, with light gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is relentless, and it is a full-attention watch and fine in the background. Rated PG-13.
