Daylight brings the disaster movie genre back to the big screen with a very big bang.
Following a brief introduction to the main characters, three junkies escaping the police steal a businessman's car and head for the New Jersey tunnel which descends a hundred feet below the Hudson River and takes the heavy traffic out of New York. Going considerably faster than is good for their health, they collide with some trucks overloaded with chemicals. This creates a massive explosion which seals the tunnel off, traps the traffic inside - and leaves the survivors little to look forward to beyond toxic fumes, fire, flood and the tunnel's impending collapse. At the tunnel's entrance, the explosion is witnessed by taxi driver Kit Latura. As the emergency services begin their textbook rescue, Kit explains his inside knowledge of the tunnel's architecture and volunteers to make his way in to assist the trapped people.
