During the height of the Cold War the USS Montana, a US nuclear ballistic submarine, sinks into an

ocean abyss due to unknown circumstances. The US Navy scramble to the scene to rescue survivors
and recover the nuclear missles on board before nearby Russian forces do. Their best hope are a team
of divers attached to a submersible drilling platform not far from the crash site. During the operation
freak weather conditions damage the platform and sever its communication with the surface. As World
War III looms above and tensions rise between the divers and a deployed SEAL team the rescuers
discover that there is something else besides the submarine in the Abyss.
The Montana, a U.S. Navy nuclear missile submarine, operating deep in the Cayman Trough in the Caribbean Sea,
encounters an unidentified submerged object moving at high speed. The object passes very close to the submarine and
the vessel loses power. Power is restored after a few moments, however the sub has drifted too close to the underwater
canyon wall and collides with it, causing catastrophic damage. An officer is able to launch the sub's emergency beacon
before the sub floods, drowning the entire crew.
As Soviet ships and submarines head toward the area in an attempt to salvage the sub and its, and with a hurricane moving in, the
Americans decide that the quickest way to mount a rescue is for a US Navy SEAL team to be inserted onto a privately owned
experimental underwater oil drilling platform, which they will then use as their base of operations. The platform's designer and chief
engineer, Dr. Lindsey Brigman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), is furious at the notion of her rig being commandeered for the
mission. Her estranged husband, Virgil "Bud" Brigman (Ed Harris) is the foreman of the platform. However, Benthic Petroleum, the
rig's financier, has already agreed to cooperate with the Navy and has promised the rig's crew substantial bonus pay. Lindsey
herself travels down to the rig with the SEAL team to oversee the operation personally. After eight hours in a compression chamber,
Lindsey and the SEAL team emerge; no one, however, sees that SEAL leader Lt. Hiram Coffey (Michael Biehn) has developed High
Pressure Nervous Syndrome (HPNS) when he has a slight hand tremor. Lindsey and Bud promptly begin arguing with each other,
revealing that they are a separated married couple. Bud becomes furious and throws his wedding band into a chemical toilet. He
relents after a few moments and fishes it out, staining his hand blue with the toilet's sanitation fluid.
The rig and SEAL teams prepare to investigate the submarine wreck. One of the SEALs shows crew members Hippy (Todd Graff)
and Catfish (Leo Burmester) a high-tech underwater breathing system that uses oxygenated fluid instead of air. The system allows
its wearer to survive at extreme ocean depths without succumbing to the intense water pressure. Coffey himself leads the entire
operation, issuing orders and angrily reprimanding the crew when they begin joking with each other.
While searching the sub for survivors, the collective team encounters strange creatures they can't identify, the same beings that
inadvertently caused the submarine to sink. Lindsey, piloting one of the rig's three mini-subs, experiences the same type of power
loss that the Montana did. While searching a compartment on the Montana, Bud's partner, Jammer (John Bedford Lloyd), the rig
crew's biggest member, sees a strange, glowing creature and panics. When he tries to escape the chamber, he damages a valve on
his breathing apparatus and begins to convulse. Bud and his comrades are able to save Jammer, but the incident puts him in a
coma.
As the storm intensifies, Coffey and his team communicate with their commanding officer on the surface, who tells them that a
Russian attack sub was detected in the area. The team is ordered to retrieve a Trident missile warhead and arm it as a contingency
if the Russians get too close to the Montana.
Coffey and the SEALs take one of the rig's mini-subs without authorization. Using the sub's large mechanized arm, they are able to
open a launch door of the Montana and extract one of the Tridents.. However, the mini-sub they commandeered was the only
vehicle capable of disconnecting the station's umbilical cord to its parent surface ship, the Benthic Explorer. Upon their return, the
SEALs remove the warhead and turn the sub over to its pilot, "One Night" (Kimberly Scott), who takes it out in an attempt to
disconnect the umbilicus.
By this time, the Explorer is in the middle of the hurricane, and being tossed violently by powerful winds and waves generated by the
storm. The ship's motion makes it impossible for One Night to disconnect the cable, which is jerking about with such power that it
begins to drag the station along the bottom towards the Cayman Trough. The stress of the cable causes the derrick crane that
supports the station to break away from the ship, momentarily stopping the station's slide towards the trench. The crew is relieved
that they have avoided death, but the joy is short-lived as they realize the crane, which is still attached to the rig via the umbilicus, is
descending to them at an increasing rate. As it floats past the rig into the chasm, the crew sees that the crane's momentum will pull
the rig into the chasm, and they brace for the impact. The station is violently yanked towards the chasm causing massive damage
and flooding, killing six of the station's crew one of the SEAL team and injuring several of the surviving crew and SEALs. The rig is
not pulled into the trench, stopping a few feet short of the precipice.
Tensions mount as the platform has lost contact with the surface and anger of the crew towards the SEALs intensifies over the
deaths of their friends and co-workers. The crew begins to experience more strange encounters from what appear to be underwater
beings (referred to as non-terrestrial intelligences, or NTIs by Hippy), which the paranoid Coffey determines to be a threat. While

activating oxygen tanks outside the rig, Lindsey encounters one of the smaller probes she'd spotted while at the submarine & then a
much larger and brilliantly illuminated vehicle which she touches. As both vehicle sputter out of sight into the chasm, she is able to
get a few pictures.
Another incident involves an encounter with a tentacle that appears to be made entirely of water, but can move like a snake. It also
morphs into the faces of both Lindsey and Budd in an apparent attempt to communicate. When Coffey finds the tentacle's origin in
the rig's diving pool, he panics and closes one of the hatches, cutting it off, and the remainder sinks into the depths. When the end
of the tentacle "looks" at him, Coffey becomes even more scared and paranoid.
Strapping the warhead to Big Geek, one of the platform's remote operated vehicles, Coffey makes a fateful decision to send both of
them down to the bottom of the trench where the NTIs appear to be coming from. He dogs and jams the door to the rig's sub bay
and waits until it's time to launch Big Geek. Due to the damage caused to the rig, Bud and Catfish have to swim to the sub bay
under the rig in freezing cold water. Bud makes it to the bay, having to leave Cat behind at another hatch. Bud tries to sneak up on
Coffey with a large pipe but decides to grab the pistol Coffey had tucked into his belt. Coffey spots him and tries to shoot Bud but the
pistol is empty: one of his SEAL team, Monk, had previously unloaded the pistol. Bud and Coffey fight hand-to-hand with Coffey
finally wrapping a cable around Bud's neck. Suddenly, Cat appears and punches Coffey in the face, knocking him on his back.
Coffey retreats to the sub and escapes, moving into a position where he can launch Big Geek.
Bud and Lindsey intervene; Bud ties the runaway ROV to a railing on the rig and is picked up by Lindsey piloting one of the rig's
subs. After a furious chase along the sea bottom, Lindsey disables both subs and stops Coffey, who falls off the edge of the trough
and is crushed within his submersible by the pressure. However, they cannot stop the ROV from taking the warhead down into the
trench. Trapped in their rapidly-flooding sub, Lindsey orders Bud to use the ship's sole diving suit to swim back to the platform,
towing her body. While she will drown, she banks on the very cold water preserving her via the mammalian diving reflex until she
can be resuscitated in the platform. A very tense situation develops while her comrades try to resuscitate her. When using
emergency equipment fails, Bud frantically begins to shake and even slap Lindsey, who regains consciousness, much to the relief of
the entire crew.
Being the most qualified and strongest diver left, Bud then dons an experimental diving suit given to him by the remaining SEALs, in
which the diver breathes an oxygenated fluid instead of air. This has the advantage of allowing the diver to descend to incredible
depths without injury, as the body will not be crushed by the pressure by having liquid in the lungs rather than gas. Bud's mission is
to dive to the bottom of the trench, two miles down and deeper than anyone has ever gone before, and disarm the warhead before it
detonates. He succeeds in his mission, but Lindsey is distressed to learn that he does not have enough breathing fluid remaining to
allow his return to the rig. He tells her, via a wrist keypad, that he always knew it "was a one-way trip", but that he had to go to save
both the platform crew and the NTIs. He transmits a final message saying that he loves her and still considers her to be his wife, and
she tells him how much she loves him before assuming he's dead.
The NTIs find Bud as his oxygen runs out and bring him onto their ship, an immense, glowing city. They provide him with air to
breathe at his normal pressure and engage in silent communication with him. They then show him several television clips they have
stored of humanity's destructive behavior, silently explaining that they have left humans alone but now believe humans are too selfdestructive to continue this behavior. They also show Bud a few current newscasts of an incredible phenomenon along continental
coasts on the surface. The NTIs are using their ability to control water to form 1000' high tsunamis off the coasts of every continent
on Earth, threatening to destroy humanity. Bud asks the NTIs what right they have to judge the human race. He is shown historical
clips of Hitler, war, and genocide. However, when the The NTI's had intercepted Bud's transmission "LOVE YOU WIFE" they decide
to stop the storm and tsunamis, realizing humans do possess compassion for each other.
Back on the rig, everyone is saddened by the loss of Bud. However, they pick up a typed message from Bud telling them that he's
alive and well and that they should brace themselves. The NTIs raise their entire city from the chasm, but it is so massive it lifts most
of the naval fleet patrolling the area above the water, including the Explorer. The rig is also on the city and everyone seems fine,
including the underwater crew, who should have died without decompressing -- the NTI's altered their bodies to allow this. Lindsey
sees Bud emerge from the NTI ship and they rush to each other. Greeting each other as a newlywed couple would, they engage in a
passionate kiss.

There was no moral. Jack did something incredibly stupid and got rewarded for it. So I guess the moral is if you steal from some
dude and then kill him you can live happily ever after in a castle paid for in stolen funds from a dead guy that you didn't even know
when you killed him. Oh and probably something about not letting your child go do something that could get him killed, like climbing
a beanstalk that is a mile high to go to a castle and KILL A GUY.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jack takes his mom's cow and sells it to a guy selling beans. First lesson here is do not offload livestock for legumes. This is not a
fair trade, and initially Jack gets ripped off. When he gets home his Mom is furious with him and rightly so. Jack has a bunch of
'magic beans,' which sounds suspicious and is suggestive of drugs. But hey, Jack is young and foolish and perhaps all his sketchy
dealings serve a greater purpose in the grand scheme of things. Especially since Jack realizes that he has a giant beanstalk which
has sprouted in his back yard as a result of his actions. Instead of being concerned for his neighbors, and if the beanstalk bothers
them he decides to climb up it instead. At the top, he meets some woman who helps him procure golden eggs from her Giant
Husband when he is sleeping. Which, if you ask me, sounds something like an illicit affair of sorts. Once Jack has pillaged all of the
Giant's golden eggs he then returns for The Giant's singing harp. Even though the harp screams and screams he runs off with it
anyway thus escaping the wrath of the giant. When he shows the harp and golden eggs to his Mom instead of being upset she is
happy, especially so when Jack then finishes off the giant forever, cutting down the beanstalk and leaving him tumbling to the ground
echoing a pitiful "Fi, Fi Fo Fum."

Make very specific rules about when children can and cannot watch
television. For example, do not allow TV during meals, homework or when
parents are not around.
AAP guidelines recommend that parents limit their childrens viewing
to one to two hours per day at most.
An alternative is to limit TV to one hour on school nights and two to
three hours a day on weekends.
You may want to allow a little extra viewing time for special
educational programs.
If your child is doing poorly in school limit TV time to half an hour
each day, or entirely eliminate TV, except for limited time on the weekends.
Make it a rule that children must finish homework and chores before
watching television. If your childs favorite show is on before the work can
be done, then record the show to watch later.
The best rule is no TV during the week, and limited weekend
TV. This ensures that kids are not rushing to finish their homework so they
can watch a favorite show. It also frees up more time for family interaction
during the busy weekdays. For example, instead of parking the kids in
front of the TV while you fix dinner, have them help you get ready for
dinner. Even young children can slice a cucumber with a dull knife or put
silverware on the table
