Not all superheroes find ways to be human, but it has always been an easy task for Captain America. Unlike most actors who play superheroes, Chris Evans has always found a way to play characters that are grounded in reality while also pretending to protect the world from intergalactic super-villains.

‘The Red Sea Diving Resort’ is a perfect example of Evans taking on a role that narrates the story of a brave man who is part of a huge humanitarian undertaking. The Netflix film with an incredible story is going to be one of the most important films of 2019.

Release date:

Netflix will release 'The Red Sea Diving Resort' on July 31.

Plot

Inspired by an incredible true-life rescue mission, ‘The Red Sea Diving Resort’ is the story of a group of international agents and local Ethiopians who used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands and rescue and evacuate Jewish-Ethiopians refugees to Israel in the early ‘80s.

Cast:

Actor Chris Evans attends the 88th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 28, 2016 in Hollywood, California.

Israeli film and television director, screenwriter, and writer Gideon Raff, who is best known for creating, writing and directing the Israeli thriller series 'Prisoners of War,' helms the Netflix project.  Raff, who made his feature-length directorial debut in 2007 with 'The Killing Floor,' has a knack for thrillers, raising the bar for what we can expect from 'The Red Sea Diving Resort.'
