I saw that this film got some Razzie nominations in the year it came out. I mean it
isn't that bad, but it's strictly for the juvenile trade. If you want to believe that
we were engaged in atomic research before World War I. We were still trying to
electrify our cities then.
Anyway some research has shown that some really rare radioactive material was shipped on the Titanic and the stuff went down with it. Now the USA wants it and Admiral Jason Robards has engaged David Selby, Richard Jordan and Anne Archer as a girl Friday to find it. Too deep to dive so we have to locate and raise what was once the pride of the White Star line and the most famous disaster at sea ever.
Of course the Russians want it as well, therein lies the plot.
This film kind of reminds me of the old television series My Favorite Martian which lost syndication value when our explorer went to Mars and showed us what the planet was all about. We now have located the ship and know for a fact it broke up and is in a few sections in the briny deep. No getting up the way our cast did it though that's the best part of the film.
The second best part of the film is Alec Guinness who plays an old survivor of the Titanic who reminisces with Jordan about the American who brought the stuff on board. His scenes were quite moving.
Anyway we do find out what happened and the ending is kind of poetic. Still this one's for the juvenile trade.
