The Abyss

US (1989): Science Fiction/Drama/Adventure

An American nuclear submarine is attacked (during the cold war) and crashes underwater. The Navy asks the workers of a nearby underwater oil rig who are joined by a number of navy SEALS to locate and investigate the cause of the crash. As the crew embark on their mission, they encounter a number of difficulties and discover that they may not be alone. There is something else down there. (Sami Al-Taher, IMDb)
