This movie shows a young family with parents (Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor) and three boys, as they are swept from their pool where they are vacationing in Thailand, by the tsunami of 2004. Talk about your crazy scenes. They follow the mother as she is swept away, and under the water, and poked with a branch in her chest, and her leg is also wounded. She is being swept away with one of her sons as they try to keep close to each other, and they eventually come to a halt. Her oldest son, Lucas (Tom Holland) does manage to stay with her.
The movie also shows the struggle of her husband, trying to locate her. Somehow the two younger boys have survived and are with him. However he puts them on a rescue truck as he is intent on continuing to search for his wife. Consequently they are separated. Mother and oldest son, in their wanderings, rescue a small boy, who eventually is found by his family. However mother and son become separated in the hospital, as son is helping others, and mother taken to surgery without his knowing where she has gone.
Just as you are about ready to give up on this family ever getting back together, the impossible happens. The reunion of the three boys with their father is very dramatic, and then with mother who is in hospital with her wounds.
This is one crazy story based on actual events. One can only imagine the devestation as a result of this natural disaster.
