UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OVERVIEW: Follow father and son underwater cave divers and their team as they embark on an epic expedition into the heart of one of the world's largest, most remote and treacherous caverns.

With the threat of death and danger at every turn, this journey will test their strength and psyche against the perils of raging water and creeping panic.

Sanctum stars Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge!, Mission: Impossible II), Rhys Wakefield (The Black Balloon, Broken Hill), Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four series, W.), Alice Parkinson (Where the Wild Things Are, X-Men Origins: Wolverine),and Dan Wyllie (Muriel's Wedding, Chopper).
