Leviathan (1989)

In the unfathomable depths of the Atlantic Ocean, 16,000 feet below the surface, lies an ambitious mission under the helm of the Tri Oceanic Mining Corporation. An eight-man crew, led by steadfast geologist Steven Beck and the dedicated Dr. Glen 'Doc' Thompson, labors tirelessly to mine precious metals, including silver. Their diverse team, ranging from the space-obsessed Elizabeth 'Willie' Williams to the jovial prankster Buzz 'Sixpack' Parrish, and the liaison to Tri Oceanic's executive, Ms. Martin, navigate the challenges of their underwater life. On the brink of completing their mission, Willie and Sixpack are sent on an external task that leads to an unexpected discovery - a hidden Russian vessel, the enigmatic Leviathan. Intrigued, they retrieve a safe from the vessel, bringing it back to their base. Inside, they find an intriguing mix of money, vodka, a videotape, and obscure documents. Beck, ever the leader, takes charge of the safe's contents. However, an act of larceny sees Sixpack and Bowman sharing a toast with the stolen Russian vodka. As the crew delves into the videotape, a chilling revelation emerges. The Russian Captain narrates a mysterious problem that led to the demise of his crew. The next morning, a sickly Sixpack and later, Bowman, display strange symptoms that baffle Doc. A horrifying reality dawns on them - a genetic mutation is in their midst. When a plea for rescue reaches Ms. Martin, they are met with a daunting obstacle - a raging hurricane on the surface, making rescue impossible. In the oppressive depths of the ocean, the crew must now face a terrifying adversary, a genetic mutation with a deadly hunting game. With their survival on the line, they must outwit and outmaneuver this lurking predator in a desperate fight against time and fate. Leviathan is a thrilling deep-sea journey that delves into the horrifying consequences of disturbing the forgotten relics of the past.
