Description: The movie “Crawl” begins with a swim relay event at the University of Florida. Haley Keller, played by Kaya Scodelario, participates but fails to achieve her best time. This reminds her of a childhood memory where she lost a relay race and felt disappointed. However, her father, Dave, portrayed by Barry Pepper, always encouraged her to persevere and work hard.
Later, Haley receives a video call from her sister, Beth, who warns her about Hurricane Wendy, a category 5 storm heading for Florida. Beth is worried because they haven’t heard from their father, who might still be in the area. The sisters briefly argue due to their differing loyalties during their parents’ divorce—Haley sided with Dave, while Beth supported their mother. Beth insists that Haley check on their father.
Following evacuation orders, Haley attempts to leave town but struggles to reach Dave. Amid the storm, she encounters Wayne, Beth’s ex-boyfriend, who is managing traffic. Despite his guidance, Haley decides to turn back to find her father.
At Dave’s condo, Haley only finds his dog, Sugar, with no sign of Dave. She calls Beth and suggests he might be at their old family home. Against Beth’s advice, Haley drives there with Sugar, even as the streets flood. Upon arriving, she searches the house and finds Dave’s phone in the kitchen and his car in the garage.
Hearing Sugar bark, Haley discovers Dave unconscious in the basement with a severely injured leg. As she tries to help him, an alligator attacks them. Haley manages to pull Dave to safety and barricades them behind pipes to escape the danger.
