The film details a series of tragic fatalities as the trapped group attempts to navigate dark cave passages.
It starts with a diver named Ryan and their tour guide Wat.
Group members Greg, Adrianne, and James fall victim to the predator and rising water levels, leaving only Sara and Max to reach an elevated exit opening above the ocean.
Wadlow explained that a pivotal exchange between the two leads before the final confrontation was added shortly before production.
"We wanted to understand that not only had Sara grown and changed, but that Max recognized it," he said.
Actress Lana Condor described her character's headstrong personality and how the life-threatening circumstances force a shift in her worldview.
"She feels that she is the leader," said Condor.
She noted that the extreme danger inside the flooded cave breaks down her character's controlling demeanor during the final acts.
"She's incredibly headstrong, disrespectful, annoying," Condor added. The actress highlighted that the ordeal brings a realization of personal limitations before the tragic climax.
"She realizes that she doesn't know everything. And she's not right about everything," she said.
