The film is set in the Kyzyl Kum Desert, Kazakhstan. The cavers are a coed bunch, the opening scenes of the movie set up the various alliances and tensions between the group. Five of them - Bailey (Sybil Temchen), Gannon (Mustafa Shakir), Domingo (Andres Saenz-Hudson), Miranda (Ogy Durham), and Ori (Andrew Caple-Shaw) - are part of a team who have caved together for a number of years, making their living from exploring and photographing new caves and reporting back to the world what they find there. Also involved in this trip are two Kazakh natives, Vlad (Kamen Gabirel) and Slava (Neno Pervan), whom the band have hired as guides, Ambrose (Danny Jacobs), who is researching for a book on caving.
It can also be said that there is a ghost with the group - that of Rachel (Cassandra Duarden), a member of the team who died on an expedition in Peru two years prior, and whose story is told in flashback as the movie goes on. The men are killed one by one and just as the two women find the escape route, they are captured. They awaken in a cave wrapped in animal skin where they find photos, belongings and an aeroplane wing in the surrounding area. The two find water then food and while eating, discover that the meat is one of their dead friends. The beast enters and we discover he was the only survivor of a plane crash, a Russian boy called Peter. He proceeds to brutally kill one and rape the other.
The Cave and The Descent, both released theatrically in 2005, and The Cavern on DVD in 2006. All three films involve caving and terrifying subterranean life that hunts down the principal characters. The Descent was held as the superior of the three according to ticket sales and critical reviews.
