When a nuclear submarine crashes deep in the ocean, an undersea drilling rig is commandeered by Navy SEALs on a rescue mission. Now it’s up to the rig’s foreman (Harris) to fight the crazed Lieutenant Coffey (Biehn) who is determined to detonate a nuclear warhead. But deep in “The Abyss,” something unknown has the power to save them.
