The Abyss (1989)

Directed by
James Cameron

After Aliens, James Cameron took to the ocean's depths for this sci-fi thriller.

Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio star as Bud and Lindsey Brigman, a husband-and-wife team running the rescue rig that's trying to get to a nuclear submarine that's gone down on the lip of one of the world's deepest sea trenches.

But when psychotic Navy SEAL commander Lt Hiram Coffey launches a nuclear warhead into the trench, they discover they are not alone.
