The Abyss

When a U.S. nuclear submarine mysteriously sinks in the Caribbean, the crew of an experimental underwater drilling platform is recruited to assist a Navy SEAL team with the recovery mission. Deep beneath the surface, engineer Bud Brigman and his estranged wife, Lindsey, encounter something no one expected—an intelligent presence hidden in the depths. As a violent storm isolates the crew and tensions rise aboard the rig, they face danger from both the crushing ocean around them and the people trapped inside. James Cameron directs this ambitious underwater science-fiction adventure starring Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
