Last week, the standout Challengers dominated the top 10 most popular movies on Amazon Prime Video. There is a new winner to be announced this week – and it’s a tough one. No Way Up is officially the one most popular film titles in the streaming service’s catalog. One and a half hours of high tension await you.
Now on Amazon Prime Video: In No Way Up, a plane crashes into the ocean and is surrounded by sharks
No Way Up has an extremely promising premise that should immediately captivate any genre fan. We follow the people on a flight that goes from Los Angeles to San José del Cabo in western Mexico. But then the plane is hit by a migration of birds and panic is announced.
What follows is a dizzying emergency landing, although there can be no question of a landing. The captain of the plane barely manages to get the metal colossus on one rocks lying under water to position in the ocean. Now the crew and passengers just have to find an escape route before the air runs out.

But the suspense elements aren’t enough: In addition to the disaster film, No Way Up mixes in a good portion of animal horror and gives us one hungry pack of sharkswho sense their next supper. If that doesn’t sound like a nerve-wracking and entertaining movie night!
The survival thriller No Way Up sounds like the perfect replacement for In the Water of the Seine on Amazon Prime Video
Anyone who has been thirsting for the next crazy fight for survival in the shark tank since In the Water of the Seine should definitely take a look at No Way Up, which has received little attention so far. In Germany, the film was released directly into home cinemas in May 2024. Now he is experiencing one unexpected streaming high.
No Way Up was directed by Claudio Fäh, who has been in the direct-to-DVD sector for over two decades and has produced a few of the more well-known titles there. These include the dark Viking epic Northmen: A Viking Saga from 2014 and two films in the never-ending sniper series (parts 4 and 7).
So don’t expect a blockbuster à la Poseidon. We’re also a long way from a massive shark horror film like The Shallows. Nevertheless, No Way Up is a few leagues above the trash fireworks Sharknado. Imagine the Meg films with Jason Statham and lightening the budget by a zero at the end.
