About
You can stream The Abyss (1989) on Disney+ with a subscription.
A civilian oil rig crew is recruited to conduct a search and rescue effort when a nuclear submarine mysteriously sinks. One diver soon finds himself on a spectacular odyssey 25,000 feet below the ocean's surface where he confronts a mysterious force that has the power to change the world or destroy it.
A rugged, sweat-soaked intensity drives this deep-sea odyssey as a diving crew encounters something impossible in the crushing darkness. James Cameron pushes practical effects to their absolute limit, creating a claustrophobic nightmare that feels genuinely alien.
