Storyline

Four adventurers descend to the depths of the ocean when the cable on their underwater diving bell snaps. The rest of their expedition, believing them to be lost, abandons hope of finding them. Exiting the diving bell, the party finds themselves in a network of underwater caverns. They encounter a shipwreck survivor. He tells them he has been there for 14 years and that there is no way out. The two men in the exploring party believe him only after a hike to a volcanic vent that supplies the caverns with oxygen. On the surface, Prof. Millard Wyman, the elder scientist who designed the original diving bell, decides to try again to explore the depths of the ocean. He finds out that there is another diving bell in existence that is identical to the one that was lost... Written by Jim Cobb <[email protected]>

Did You Know?

Trivia

In an interview, star Robert Clarke said that the film's cinematographer is actually a well-known Hollywood cameraman who used the pseudonym "Victor Fisher" so he wouldn't get in trouble with the union for taking a job on this non-union picture. See more »

Goofs

When the characters are trapped undersea in the diving bell, they simply leave by climbing up to a hatch, supposedly at the top of the bell. Such an action underwater would immediately flood the bell. Yet, not even a drop of water enters the bell when they exit. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: This is the sea, as old as the world itself. It extends over three quarters of the surface of the globe. The sea: the birthplace of life, the great storehouse of minerals, the prison of haunting mysteries.

Carradine
12 July 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

this wasn't a bad movie at all, although I wouldn't have put it in the horror packaging as Wal Mart did. starring John Carradine who didn't have a lot of screen times.. this movie is about a diving bell that breaks loose from the chains, and falls to the bottom of the sea, but as luck would have it ,, it got stuck on a shelf of some sorts, in a deep dark dank cave with a volcano not to far from it,, 2 men and 2 women must fight to stay alive and find a way out,, an old man shows up about half way thru the picture claiming to have been living there now for 14 years,, he takes a liking to one of the women, just as the action is starting to heat up with a volcano exploding,, interesting movie,, I love the opening credits where all you see is the monstrous waves from the ocean,, but I didn't care for the narration at the beginning of the film.
