The Impossible starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, is based on the remarkable true story of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of the tsunami that hit Southeast Asia in 2004. Both devastating and uplifting, the film is a journey to the core of the human heart. Director J. A. Bayona skillfully captures the true-life terror the family experienced, tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria (Naomi Watts) and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives.
The Impossible is set to be released in cinemas across the UK on 2 January 2013.
