Nordsjøen (2021)
In 1969, the Norwegian government announces their discovery of one of the world's largest oil fields in the neighboring North Sea, launching a prosperous period of offshore drilling. 50 years later, the environmental consequences begin to manifest - a crack has opened on the ocean floor, causing a rig to collapse. A team of researchers, including submarine operator Sofia, rushes in to search for the missing and assess the cause of the damage, but what they discover is that this is just the start of a possible apocalyptic catastrophe. As rigs are evacuated, Sofia's loving companion Stian becomes trapped in the depths of the sea, and Sofia must dive in to rescue him.

    Good Norway disaster movie
    Long time not watching non Hollywood movies. Suddenly had this one come along. The plot is normal while the scenes are good, and no know before that the oil drills are emptying the sea, and we should better save the world. The actor is finally saved by his girlfriend, and I would take time to watch the previous 2.
