Director James Cameron (Terminator 2, Aliens) must by now be considered to be master creator of big-budget epics, but his films all have one thing in common: they all have a heart, and a human story amongst all the effects. The Abyss, probably his most ambitious effort to date, is no different.
Filmed almost entirely underwater, it centers on an underwater oil rigging crew who are commandeered by the Navy to search for survivors of the sinking of one of its nuclear submarines, which may or may not have been sunk by a Russian vessel. Teetering on the edge of a 2 1/2 mile canyon in the ocean floor whilst a cyclone rages above them, the Navy's men sent to join the riggers aren't exactly looking for survivors, and they don't exactly discover ruddy-faced men sitting around and drinking vodka, either.
The crew of the rig consist of your usual ragged-but-lovable types, headed by Bud Brigman (Ed Harris): a man with chiselled good looks, courage, practicality, and a healthy streak of anti-authoritarianism. He is flanked by his colourfully- named crew including Hippy (Todd Graff) the rat-keeping conspiracy theorist, Catfish (Leo Burmester), his right hand man, man mountain Jammer (John Bedford Lloyd) and One Night (Kimberly Scott), the country music-lovin' gal.
When the Navy SEALs are sent down to the rig to lead the salvage effort, they are joined by Bud's estranged wife Lindsey (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), the designer of the rig, and referred to as 'queen b**** of the universe' in her introduction to the movie. Not only do Bud and Lindsey need to redefine their relationship, but calamitous events overtake them all, and when the leader of the Navy SEALs (Michael Biehn) develops pressure-induced psychosis, there are nuclear weapons involved, and there is some unknown force hiding in the abyss, you know things are gonna get interesting.
