FLOOD (2007)
Rob Morrison: "Get the family in the car and get as far away from London as possible..."
A colossal tidal surge triggered by high seas and a raging storm heads down the Thames, overwhelming the flood barrier and turning London into one big fish tank feature.
But, never fear, Robert Carlyle's crack marine engineer Rob Morrison is about to pull his wellies on and save the lives of lots of Cockneys. Brow-mopping David Suchet is the deputy prime minister who has tough decisions to make and Tom Courtenay plays Rob's dad, a doom-laden meterological sage who thinks the worse is yet to come.
Not good news if you live within the M25 but anyone north of Watford Gap will probably treat this as a comedy.
