Based on a bestseller by Jaws author Peter Benchley, this aquatic nerve-shredder offers more trouble-in-the-water thrills. Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte are a couple on a scuba-diving vacation in Bermuda who happen upon a most curious treasure: hundreds of vials of morphine from a shipwrecked World War II craft.
