I'm trying to find out the name to a movie with Joanne Whalley-Kilmer in it.!
Question: It's when she's a teacher or something like a teacher and her students and herself are running from these two guys in masks that want to take them as hostages (sp?) and they end up in a cave and have to swim through a tunnel like thing to get to the other side. It's been in my memory ever since I've seen it and and I can't remember the name.
Thank you! ?

"Fortress" (1986 TV movie) has that plot. It stars Rachel Ward.
IMDB summary:
"Fortress" explores a shocking concept which shows how easily a borderline between a victim and an attacker can be crossed. The children and the teacher, calm and peaceful by nature, when driven beyond their limits by the kidnappers, eventually respond with a cruelty and fury extending that of their oppressors.
Also, here's a review from the same site:
Point blank this movie flashed me back to 3rd grade spring time or 4th grade fall of 1985. Vividly I remember sleeping over at my friend's house and telling him about this movie "Fortress" that I had just seen, and he was eager to see it after I went on and on about it. Something was magical that night because about an hour later he turned on HBO and the movie was just starting. I remember we watched it, and we both loved it. All through the years growing up, it was our little inside laugh; we would talk about Father Christmas~haha. I thought about the movie frequently growing up but never ever ever saw it again on TV or any channels such as HBO or Cinemax or Showtime. About two weeks ago, while looking through my Comcast cable at 3 in the morning, I came across "Fortress" coming on the next day on HBO, and I set my DVR to record it and just watched it last night. I felt like a kid again, and I couldn't believe how my memory flashed back and I knew pretty much everything that was coming up before it happened. I'm 29 years old and haven't seen that movie in 21 years. Wow!!!!!!!! Still fantastic as it was when I was a child. Hope I didn't bore you to death. Maybe some others can relate to my little story and feel the same way about this movie.

BTW: The kidnappers ARE masked, one as Father Christmas. They do have to swim in order to escape.
