The film stars Roth, Andrea Osvárt, Ariel Levy, Natasha Yarovenko, Nicolas Martinez, and Lorenza Izzo as a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub in Chile when a massive earthquake hits and quickly learn that reaching the surface is just the beginning of their nightmare. An American and Chilean co-production, Aftershock had premiered at the TIFF on September 11, 2012, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 10, 2013, by Dimension Films and RADiUS-TWC.
