What happens

Open Water 2: Adrift (also known simply as Adrift or Open Water 2) is a 2006 German English-language survival film directed by Hans Horn, starring Susan May Pratt, Eric Dane, Richard Speight, Jr., Niklaus Lange, Ali Hillis, and Cameron Richardson. Second entry of the Open Water film series, it was inspired by the short story "Adrift" by Japanese author Koji Suzuki, from which it took its original title, but promotional posters claimed the film is based on actual events. The film has no connection to Open Water (2003) and the script had been written before it was theatrically released. After Open Water became a success, Adrift was produced and the name was changed to Open Water 2: Adrift. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
