A new trailer has debuted for ABOVE THE BELOW, a survival-thriller co-directed by and starring Idris Elba, alongside Caitlin Fitzgerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. The film is set to arrive only in theaters on December 4, 2026.

After three astronauts survive a disaster in space, their unscheduled crash-landing leaves them trapped in the crushing depths of the ocean with no contact with mission control and oxygen rapidly running out. In a race against time where every breath could be their last, the crew faces impossible choices, mounting odds, and new dangers in this pulse-pounding story about what we do when faced with the greatest stakes imaginable. Idris Elba co-directs with Martin Owen and stars in this survival-thriller alongside Caitlin Fitzgerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin.
