A drama starring a young Tom Holland is being described as the most 'traumatic' film people have ever watched.
The gripping movie kept viewers on the edge of their seat, with a 14-year-old Spiderman-to-be cast in a starring role.
Based on a true story, the movie follows a family vacationing in Thailand when one of the world's deadliest tsunami crashes down on them.
With 100ft waves, the tsunami devastated South East Asia and the communities surrounding the Indian Ocean after a giant earthquake, between 9.1 and 9.3 on the Richter Scale, struck.
It took place on Boxing Day in 2004 and is estimated to have killed 227,898 people in 14 different countries - making it one of the most deadliest natural disasters on record.

Helping to bring the story to the screen is Star Wars veteran Obi-Wan Kenobi, otherwise known as Ewan McGregor, as the father of the family, while Naomi Watts was cast as the mother.
Titled The Impossible, the movie also features Holland's younger twin brothers Harry and Sam - marking the only film the trio have appeared in together.
To train for his part in the one-hour-fifty-four-minute movie, which is now on Netflix, the then-teenage talent reportedly spent six weeks in a water tank filming the tsunami sequence, according to IMDb.

One fan took to the Facebook group Netflix Bangers to share her love of The Impossible, which was released in 2012.
She said: "This movie was so good it's base[d] on a true story must watch it."
Her post erupted on the page, with more than 170 users primarily agreeing with the sentiment.

A competition seemed to arise in the comments with users saying just how many times they've watched it - multiple people shared how they watched it twice, three times and one person even said she has watched it 10 times.
However, while the film is rightfully being celebrated, one person pointed out just how destructive the tsunami was.
"Should we all have a moment for the people that went through this and lost their life's [lives] and loved ones," she said.

"It's a great movie and must of [have] been so horrifying to relive the memories of that day."
Speaking about Holland's performance, one man said: "Incredible true story and movie.
"Tom Holland showing incredible acting skills before he became a mega-star. Although some of the water scenes were probably not acting."
Meanwhile, Watts' acting was also applauded: "Why Naomi didn’t when [win] an Oscar for this is beyond me. She was unbelievable."
