In Flood, the citizens of London must grapple with possible obliteration of the city, when a colossal storm hits the UK mainland, laying waste to Wick in Scotland. Some predict the crisis will die off, but not Professor Leonard Morrison (Tom Courtenay), who campaigned to resite the Thames Flood barrier. He sees the flood moving with added strength, from the years unusually high tide, and inundate London with a wall of water.

Leonard contacts daughter-in-law, Sam (Jessalyn Gilsig), Director of Operations for the barrier, Sams estranged husband, Rob (Robert Carlyle), an engineer on the Barrier, and Police Commissioner Patricia Nash (Joanne Whalley) who is managing the crisis. As the water hits as predicted, officials declare a city-wide emergency and take measures to keep the disaster from spiralling out of control, and claiming 1000s of lives.

I have read a few bad reviews of Flood, but they where mainly American, I think it was a great thriller, edge of the seat stuff and deserves watching, occasionally it slows down, so maybe cut 10 minutes from it!
