Last Breath is a gripping film directed by Alex Parkinson, adapted from a 2019 documentary. It portrays the harrowing true story of Chris Lemons, a diver trapped underwater for nearly 40 minutes during a saturation diving accident in the North Sea in 2012. With only five minutes of breathable gas, Lemons's ordeal highlights both the dangers of saturation diving and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit. The film combines thrilling elements with a deep exploration of human psyche and resilience amidst life-threatening circumstances.
"I really love stories where the truth is stranger than fiction because it gives you amazing insight into the human psyche," Parkinson tells TIME. "Chris should have died that night. But his story is a great example of how the human spirit can overcome anything."
The film sets the scene of the death-defying incident with an introduction into the world of saturation diving, one of the world's most dangerous and isolating professions.
