Hours - Trailer

Nolan and Abigail are hoping to welcome their unborn baby daughter into the world in just a few weeks, but things take a terrifying turn when the child is born five weeks prematurely. Abigail is rushed to hospital just as New Orleans becomes embroiled in a menacing looking storm that gets gradually worse as the hours go by. As Hurricane Katrina causes the nearby levee to break, the streets are flooded and the entire hospital is forced to be evacuated. However, that means that some people cannot be moved from the building if their survival relies solely on non-portable machines and so Nolan insists on staying in the unit where his fragile baby daughter is hooked up to a ventilator. Soon, though, the emergency battery begins to die down and with no-one around to change it and a severe power cut underway, he is forced to find a generator and do everything within his power to save his child - even if that means risking his own life.

'Hours' is a heart-stopping thriller taking place during the real life occurrence of Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in 2005 killing nearly 2,000 people. It has been directed and written by Eric Heisserer ('The Thing', 'Final Destination 5', 'A Nightmare on Elm Street') and is set to be released in US movie theatres on December 13th 2013.
