WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
The
legndary Lew Grade (the man
whose production company was
behind the making of the movie)
once remarked that it would have
been cheaper to "lower the
atlantic" such was the
expense involved in the making
of this 1980 movie.
Adapted
from Clive Cussler’s international bestseller, an exciting and
chilling underwater race to salvage the Titanic and its vital defence
cargo, seventy years after the tragedy of its sinking.
An American special agent embarks with amazing effort on a mission to
recover vital material for the United States’ defence. It was believed
that the mighty ‘unsinkable’ ship contained a vital material, which
could be used to make the United States impregnable to atomic attack.
The ship is down too deep for divers, so the only solution is to raise
it and the Herculean project must be managed in absolute secrecy –
despite the extreme rigours of the climate, deadly interference from a
rival nation, and the need to invent technology never before conceived.
The extraordinary task is interlaced with the stories of the people and
the forces working against them.
When
the Titanic is majestically brought to the surface, they find that the
rare mineral is missing… A memorable deep-sea exploration adventure,
made five years before the actual discovery of the Titanic’s
whereabouts in 1985.
