Storyline
The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific’s Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank’s team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

World’s most prosperous nations
1) Norway
The Stortinget which is the seat of Norway
Norway, one of the most thinly populated countries in Europe, tops the list of most prosperous countries in the world. The country, which has a population of a little under 5 million according to latest estimates, has rich resources of oil, natural gas, hydroelectric power, forests, and minerals.
2) Denmark
A traditional Danish town
Another Scandinavian country Denmark ranks second. A constitutional monarchy, it has a mixed market capitalist economy and a large welfare state.
3) Finland
Global headquarters of Nokia in Keilaniemi, Espoo, a city neighbouring Finland
Norway and Denmark’s Nordic neighbour Finland comes third on the list. The country where the global telecom giant Finland topped the list last year.
4 & 5) Australia & New Zealand
Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia
The next two spots are taken up by the two countries from Down Under with Australia at the fourth place and New Zealand at 5.
The prosperity index is based on 89 variables over 110 countries, grouped into eight sub-indices, and claims to comprehensively rank the level of prosperity in 110 nations of the world.
India has slipped 10 places to the 88th spot, way below neighbouring China, in the World Prosperity Index due to poor healthcare and education systems coupled with weak entrepreneurial infrastructure.
While last year, India stood at 78th position, according to London-based Legatum Institute that compiled the index.

Burj Khalifa
Rising gracefully from the desert and honouring Dubai with a new glow, Burj Khalifa is at the heart of Dubai and its people; the centre for the world’s finest shopping, dining and entertainment and home for the world’s elite. Burj Khalifa known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, it is the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft). Stunningly designed by the Chicago firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrell, the Burj Khalifa is inspired not only by minarets and desert flowers, but also by Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1956 plans for the Illinois Sky-City in Chicago.
Taipei 101 Tower
Taipei 101 also known as the Taipei Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building was ranked officially as the world’s tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The name of the tower reflects its floor count. The building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition. The tower is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes.
Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai World Financial Center is a supertall skyscraper in Pudong, Shanghai, China. It is a mixed use skyscraper which consists of offices, hotels, conference rooms, observation decks, and shopping malls on the ground floors. On 14 September 2007 the skyscraper was topped out at 492.0 meters (1,614.2 ft) and became the second-tallest building in the world; as well as the tallest structure in the People’s Republic of China, including Hong Kong.
Petronas Towers 1 & 2, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, as measured to the top of their structural components. Standing 1,483 ft (452 m) high, they were designed by the Argentinean-American architect Cesar Pelli. Completed in 1997, they surpassed Chicago’s Sears Tower as the record-holding tallest structure; they themselves were surpassed by Taipei 101 in 2003.
Willis Tower, Chicago
A triumph of ingenuity and innovation, Willis Tower stands tall on the Chicago skyline. With comprehensive security networks and a wide range of top-quality amenities, Willis Tower is an ideal location for business. Standing at 1,450 feet and 110 stories high, Willis Tower is the tallest building in the western hemisphere and remains a huge tourist attraction, namely due to the Sears Tower Skydeck observatory offering a view of Chicago at 1,353 feet (412 meters).
