Last Breath is Based on a True Story

Alex Parkinson’s Last Breath recreates the unbelievable story of Chris Lemons (Finn Cole), Dave Yuasa (Simu Liu), and Duncan Allcock (Woody Harrelson), a team of underwater divers who find themselves in an unimaginable situation. Adapted from Parkinson’s documentary of the same name, the film dramatizes the events that occurred in September 2012, when a perfect storm of bad luck left Lemons disconnected from oxygen and communication lifelines hundreds of feet underwater. With only minutes left, Yuasa and Allcock try everything they can to save their friend, when something impossible occurs. Lemons’ story, explains Parkinson in the press notes, “speaks to the power of this story of hope and the human spirit. When people come together with a common goal, the most incredible things can happen.”

Based on a true story, Last Breath proves how much more astounding real life can be sometimes. We are showcasing five other films whose stories are based on remarkable real people who found themselves in incredible situations.
