Summary

Based on a true story, The Impossible is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time.

Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, The Impossible is a journey to the core of the human heart.
