Daylight

Daylight is a rather successful disaster movie with Sly Stallone as the taxi driver and former rescue chief Kit Latura, who alone ventures in to save the survivors in the tunnel between New York and New Jersey, which has collapsed after a traffic accident and the ensuing massive explosion. Both ends of the tunnel are blocked, but the middle section is still standing. Kit must try to find an alternative way out for the survivors. He himself gets in through the ventilation shaft, through which no one will be able to get out again. The rescue workers cannot dig their way through to the open tunnel, as there is a great risk that it will then collapse completely.

Together with the young woman Madelyne, Kit manages to stop the water from coming in, but it is only a matter of time before the water returns and the oxygen runs out. When Kit finds the way out, everyone gets out (almost) unscathed except Kit and Madelyne, who have to resort to drastic measures to get out alive. The film does not entirely avoid heroic slush, for Kit is back as the infallible rescue chief.

Daylight is reminiscent of another, less successful disaster movie, namely "The Poseidon Adventure", in which a small group of survivors must also try to find a possible way out before the masses of water make it too late.

One of Stallone's best films.
