Pantelion Films has released the first official trailer for Hurricane Katrina thriller Hours starring Paul Walker (The Fast and The Furious) and Genesis Rodriguez (Identity Thief).

Directed by Eric Heisserer (Final Destination 5), the film premiered at this year's SXSW Film Festival in March.

Here’s the synopsis:
Before sunrise on August 29, 2005, Nolan Hayes (Paul Walker) arrives at a New Orleans hospital with his pregnant wife, Abigail (Genesis Rodriguez), who has gone into early labor.  What should be one of the happiest days of Nolan's life quickly spirals out of control when the birth goes tragically wrong and Hurricane Katrina ravages the hospital, forcing an evacuation. Told to stay with his child, who is on a ventilator, and await transfer by ambulance, Nolan and his newborn are soon cut off from the world by power outages and rising flood waters. When no one returns to help, Nolan faces one life-and-death decision after another, fighting to keep his daughter alive, as minute-by-agonizing minute passes, becoming unimaginable hours.
