The Abyss (1989)

Storyline

An American nuclear submarine encounters an alien species, which coincidentally causes massive electrical and hydraulic malfunctions, causing the sub to crash into an underwater cliff and sink. 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. Written by Anonymous

Trivia

The American Humane Association rated this film "unacceptable" because of the rat that was submerged in oxygenated liquid in one scene. It wasn't an effect. The rat really was "subje cted to the anxiety of being submerged in this liquid, where it panics and struggles and is then pulled out by its tail as it expels the liquid from its lungs."  »

Goofs

Continuity: The alien vehicle approaches the Montana on a course that nearly leads to a head-on collision. It is moving at 130 knots and the sub is moving toward it, yet it takes about 13 seconds for the range to close from 200 to 100 yards and another 3-4 seconds to come down to 60 yards, corresponding to a combined speed in the range of 13 to 20 knots. An object moving at 130 knots will go about 950 yards in 13 seconds, nearly half a mile (2025.37 yards in 1 nautical mile - 1 nautical mile = 1.15 statute miles or 1.852 kilometers)  »
