Last Breath, which was directed by Alex Parkinson and co-written by Mitchell LaFortune and David Brooks stars Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Cliff Curtis and Finn Cole as the real life Bibby Topaz crew who faced incredible odds and got one of their lost ones back home. No man left behind even if he’s at the bottom of the sea.
Last Breath, the 2025 narrative feature, is actually based on Last Breath, the 2019 documentary about the same subject that was also directed by Parkinson. So what did Parkinson’s feature get right and which details did the latest film dramatize? Here are the details behind the incredible true story that inspired Last Breath:
Per the Focus Features synopsis, “A heart-pounding film that follows seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface. Based on a true story, Last Breath is an electrifying story about teamwork, resilience, and a race against time to do the impossible.”

How long did Chris Lemons survive without oxygen?
In the Last Breath's credits it was stated that Lemons was without oxygen for 29 minutes. That is true. In a LADbible article it’s stated that, "Lemons was seen waving for help as he came to - more than 35 minutes after he had begun to consume his emergency supply of oxygen, which only had six-minutes of air." According to the calculations, Lemons remained dormant on top of a metal structure for a duration of 29 minutes after his oxygen tank was depleted.

What are any of the divers up to today?
Lemons is still a commercial diver, specializing in deep-sea saturation diving. Three weeks after his near-death experience, Lemons went back to the sea to complete the mission he and his colleagues sought out to do originally. Though not much about the remaining crew’s current occupations is known, they did, however, got to meet their actor counterparts. In the film’s press notes, Woody Harrelson states, “Well, it was a cool thing to meet the real Duncan. I had already heard that he was literally just one of the most beloved people. Everybody loves him. Then you meet him, and you get why because he is really such an interesting, funny, cool, smart guy.” The same goes for Liu with Yuasa, "I was really excited to meet him because, knowing what he went through, knowing what he did on the day and in real life, I knew that there was just an incredible person behind this facade of a stoic, seasoned veteran. And it was such an incredible honor.”
