Written by Roberts and Ernest Riera, who also wrote the first movie together, this sequel's story centers on

47 METERS DOWN: UNCAGED is directed by Johannes Roberts from a script he co-wrote with Ernest Riera.

The original film followed Mandy Moore and Claire Holt as sisters who travel to Mexico for a vacation filled with sun, fun and adventure. Lisa needs some extra persuasion when Kate suggests that they go diving in shark-infested waters. Safe in their protective cage, the thrill-seeking siblings come face to face with a group of majestic great whites. Their worst fears soon become a reality when the cage breaks away from their boat, sending them plummeting to the ocean floor with a dwindling supply of oxygen. Buy 47 METERS DOWN on Blu-ray HERE.
