Force of Nature

When a Category 5 hurricane hits Puerto Rico, the local government calls for the immediate evacuation of apartment buildings. Ray (Gibson), however, refuses to follow the orders, believing that he and his daughter Troy (Bosworth) can tough it out in their unit. His plan for survival goes from ill-advised to absolute chaos as two gangs choose to take advantage of the state of emergency and try to beat each other to a $55-million heist -- and the money is in Ray's building. With no one else to help them but a jaded cop named Cardillo (Hirsch), the father-daughter team has to fight mother nature and the violent criminals with whatever they can find in their home.
