Summary

After a catastrophic explosion seals both ends of a tunnel under the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey, a former EMS chief is the only person with the skill and nerve to attempt a rescue of the trapped survivors. As water floods in and time runs out, he leads the group through the crumbling tunnel toward a slim chance of escape.

Released in 1996, Daylight is an action, adventure and drama film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 986 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. 122 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 125 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
