THE DEEP (1977)

PETER YATES

Plot

The film follows an attractive young couple, played by the gorgeous Jacqueline Bisset and rugged stoner Nick Nolte, as they holiday in Bermuda. The unlikely story that follows involves a WW2 shipwreck, a lost cache of morphine and a homicidal conger eel. The ever-dependable Robert Shaw provides excellent support as Romer Treece (similar to his Ahab turn in Jaws) as the three get involved in a race against time to save sunken treasure from a Haitian drug dealer.
