The Divide

A post-apocalyptic science-fiction thriller film based on a script by the screenwriting duo of Karl Mueller and Eron Sheean.

Set in the the near future, the film opens with pandemonium and a chaotic sprint towards the basement of a New York apartment building, just moments before the city outside is destroyed…

When a cataclysmic explosion devastates New York, eight strangers take refuge in the basement of their apartment building, a converted fallout shelter designed by their paranoid superintendent Mickey. With just three connecting rooms it’s barely big enough, but with stockpiles of food and water, the group are at least safe from the horrors outside, and they settle in and attempt to fathom the catastrophe that has ended the lives of so many of their loved ones.

But suddenly men in HAZMAT suits storm their shelter and open fire. The strangers join forces in a desperate bid to take on this enemy, with no-one understanding what these HAZMATS are looking for, and what drives them to be so merciless.

The film was shot in the Millennium Centre and the Manitoba Production Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Directed by Xavier Gens starring Michael Biehn, Lauren German and Milo Ventimiglia.
