Daylight

**Daylight** is a UK VHS release by CIC and Universal on 18th August 1997 and 6th April 1998.

## Description

Brace yourself for nonstop action and suspense! **Sylvester Stallone** races against time to lead a group of stranded commuters out of a collapsed tunnel 100 feet below the Hudson River, in director **Rob Cohen's** *Daylight*.

When an explosion seals off a commuter tunnel, the survivors are faced with toxic fumes, fires and the impending collapse of the tunnel. Their only hope lies in the hands of Kit Latura (Stallone), a former Emergency Medical Services chief who is haunted by a tragic past. As the walls cave in and the tunnel fills up with water, Latura risks his own life to save others and prevent the disaster from escalating into an even greater catastrophe.

**Amy Brenneman** co-stars in this thrilling adventure. Filled with spectacular special effects and heart-pounding intensity, *Daylight* will have you holding your breath from start to finish.

## Cast
