In “The Abyss”, after a U.S. nuclear submarine is lost at sea, the U.S. Navy enlists the help of a crew of an underwater oil drilling platform to help find it.
A team of Navy SEALs, led by Michael Biehn as Lieutenant Coffey, is sent down to the crew to lead the rescue operation.
Unbeknownst to the crew, led by Ed Harris as Bud Brigman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Lindsey, the SEALs have another possible mission.
A mission that is deadly for all.
On top of that, during the rescue operation, deep sea otherworldly beings start appearing and ratcheting up the already high tension even more.
Are these otherworldly beings friend or foe?
Then to elevate the tension even more, Lieutenant Coffey starts acting psychotic due to pressure sickness from being deep undersea.
Not the development you want, especially with a guy in possession of nuclear warheads.
Where is this flashpoint going to end up?
Is it worth watching to find out?
