 A rescue team is sent down into the world's largest cave system to try to find the spelunkers who first explored its depths. But when the group's escape route is cut off, they are hunted by the monstrous creatures that live down below.
Deep in the Romanian forest, a team of scientists stumbles upon the ruins of a 13th century Abbey. On further inspection, they make a startling discovery - the Abbey is built over the entrance to a giant underground cave system. Local biologists belive the cave could be home to an undiscovered eco-system, so they hire a group of American cave-explorers to help them investigate its depths.
Jack (Cole Hauser) and his brother Tyler (Eddie Cibrian) are thrill-seeking professional cave explorers who run a team of the top divers in the world. They arrive in Romania with all the latest equipment, including a new type of scuba tank allowing a diver to remain submerged for up to 24 hours.
The Cave may appear to be simply the product of a writer’s imagination, but new micro-ecologies have actually been discovered evolving in deep caves, especially in Romania. One of the most famous is the Movila Caves discovery. Acclaimed speleologist and Romanian editor of National Geographic magazine, Dr. Christi Lascu, served as a consultant on The Cave and was present at the Movila discovery.
