[TOMT][movie] A movie where two people are trying to escape a place and the only way is to dive underwater and swim through a small space. Underwater there is a religious mural with possibly Jesus on it.
EDIT: The movie is Daylight(1996) with Sylvester Stalone. Now excuse me while I watch it.
Can’t remember what was on the mural specifically I’m 99% sure it was something religious. It’s really dark underwater and a flashlight is used to see the mural. If I recall correctly it’s a man and a woman or little girl. I even want to say Nicholas cage is in this movie but my memory of it is so vague I have no idea.
EDIT: more info
The movie could have possibly been action oriented or drama. I remember the man dives down once to scout and sees the mural. He comes back up to the girl to go get her and bring her through. I remember watching this movie in the 90s as a kid hope that helps.
EDIT 2:
The mural is significant to the movie as it is shown twice. Once on the scout down and another on the way through the hole. Emphasis is put on the mural and pretty sure it has a message like Jesus helped them escape or live or something like that. Trying really hard to remember.

I am certain you are referring to a 1996 movie called "Daylight" starring Sylvester Stallone.
In this film a group of commuters are trapped in a tunnel under a river in NY. It is flooding. In one scene he dives to scout ahead of the group of survivors and finds a room used by the original builders of the tunnel including christian iconography. They shelter in this room briefly, and it becomes the avenue of their eventual escape.
See this section of a really bad copy. (Jesus makes an appearance about 90 seconds after this link starts (1:11:13).
Admittedly there are a group of people in this scene, but in a later scene it is just him and another woman alone.
Edit: Added Jesus, because I was worried OP wouldn't have found Jesus otherwise. Its a bad clip and I felt he really needed to see Jesus. Because: Jesus.
Although my mind is telling me this isnt it. Im pretty sure this is it. When you dont watch things for a long time you kind of make up your own story to it and I did not think it was this.
On the other hand the time frame checks out 1996. The underwater scene checks out, different things on the walls jesus. The flashlight, the murky waters, the hole they swim through. Everything is exactly what I described. Unless there is another movie that does literally the exact same thing this is it. Im marking as solved. Thank you.
Adding to this, "Daylight" came out around the same time as "The Rock". Maybe that's why you remember Nicolas Cage in it?
Yeah I wanted to say the movie I was thinking of was face off but i don’t think it is. But yeah the movie we had was on VHS and Nicholas cage was a prominent actor in the late 90s almost everything i watched had him in it. Con air came out the next year as well
Solved!
