Deep Blue Sea is a 1999 horror/thriller film about
genetically engineering sharks.
Plot
On a remote top-secret island facility called Aquatica, a team of scientists are searching for a cure to Alzheimer's disease. One of them, Dr Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows), violates the code of ethics, and genetically engineers several mako sharks, making them smarter, faster, and more dangerous. Aquatica's financial backers are skeptical and nervous about the tests, and send a corporate executive (Samuel L. Jackson) to visit the facility.
In order to prove that the research is worth it, the team manage to remove brain tissue from the largest shark. However, an accident sets off a chain of events that allows the sharks to engineer an escape, and flood the internal structure, allowing them entry. The team of scientists have to escape the sinking research centre and avoid being killed, without allowing the sharks to reach open water.
Tagline: Bigger. Smarter. Faster. Meaner.
