"The Flood" is a 2007 British-Canadian disaster film directed by Tony Mitchell. The film, based on Richard Doyle's novel, stars Robert Carlyle, Jessalyn Gilsig, Tom Courtenay, and Joanne Whalley. It centers on a catastrophic flood that engulfs London after a massive storm coincides with a high tide, overwhelming the Thames Barrier. The plot follows Professor Leonard Morrison (Tom Courtenay), a marine expert who has long argued that the Thames Barrier was poorly positioned. When a severe storm hits, he predicts that it will result in a devastating flood for London. Leonard contacts his estranged son Rob (Robert Carlyle), an engineer at the barrier, and his ex-wife Sam (Jessalyn Gilsig), who manages the barrier's operations, to warn them of the impending disaster. As the floodwaters surge into the city, the government declares a state of emergency, leading to a massive evacuation effort. The story weaves through the struggles and heroics of the characters as they attempt to mitigate the disaster and save lives. Leonard sacrifices himself to activate the barrier's controls and reverse the water flow, ultimately saving the city but at the cost of his life【5†source】【6†source】.
