Plot
In upstate New York, barrels of volatile toxic waste are loaded onto trucks to be illegally disposed of at a site in New Jersey. The trucks enter a tunnel beneath the Hudson River along with other commuters, including struggling playwright Maddy Thompson, a bus of juvenile offenders, a vacationing family, an elderly couple with a dog, and athlete Roy Nord. Meanwhile, a gang steals a briefcase of gems and flees by car into the tunnel, pursued by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) after the gang are tracked by the victim's Electroguard-protected car. The gang loses control of their vehicle and crashes into one of the waste trucks, causing an explosive blast that seals the tunnel off from the outside, fills it with toxic gas, and kills dozens of commuters.
