Lost City Raiders is a 2008 made-for-television science fiction film written and directed by Jean de Segonzac.

Cardinal Battaglia contacts John Kubiak (James Brolin) and his sons Jack (Ian Somerhalder) and Thomas (Jamie King).

Meanwhile, a waitress Cara joins the Kubiak team as the ship mechanic and helps Jack and Thomas, especially after their father is killed trying to fend off Filiminov's men.

Despite the attempted intervention of an insane Father Giacopetti who sees the Rising as God's punishment for mankind's sins, the new Team Kubiak are able to activate an ancient chamber that triggers a gas explosion and consequently lowering of the flood waters.
