The plot is the basic stuff, focusing on one small group and throwing up one obstacle after another for them to get over. To many this will be a bad thing because while meeting all the genre requirements this film also repeats all the old problems as well I guess it is about what you like, if you like the genre then you'll enjoy this. The brief pictures of characters does enough to set up their roles within the disaster genre and it is not long before one massive explosion and we are back in the disaster films that were so popular in the 1970's. From the opening ten minutes we know just where we are. When his replacement dies ignoring his advice, his former colleagues turn to him and he agrees to enter the tunnel and try to rescue the survivors. Only a few meters short of entering the tunnel himself, cab driver and disgraced former fire chief Kit Latura recognises a disaster when he sees one and, thanks to a drill he ran years ago, knows that the standard rescue methods will not work. A handful of survivors are left trapped with burning toxic waste and only enough air to last a few hours. Separate events that come together in a New York city tunnel when the latter crashes into the former starting a chain reaction explosion that sends a fireball sweeping through the tunnel and sealing it at both ends.
A stolen car being pursued by the police.
