James Cameron has made a name for himself by being the director who would immerse himself in deep research and pioneer new technologies to bring his visions to life. In 1989, production wrapped on one of the most challenging motion pictures ever made.
Rewind with us to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Abyss. Written and directed by James Cameron, this science fiction film follows Virgil “Bud” Brigman (Ed Harris) and Dr. Lindsey Brigman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) - two formerly married petroleum engineers.
When an American submarine sinks in the Caribbean, the U.S. Search and Recovery Team works with an oil platform crew, including the estranged Brigmans, racing against Soviet vessels to recover the boat. Deep in the ocean they encounter something unexpected.
