Plot: Peter Benchley, who wrote Jaws, also wrote The Deep. Scuba divers David Sanders and Gail Berke (Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset), assisted by Romer Treece (Robert Shaw), discover a sunken treasure off the Bermuda coast. They also find a stash of narcotics. David and Gail spend the rest of the picture avoiding bad guys who stashed the drugs and want the treasure as well. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Great film but...
Added 10/25/2009
I know they now have the Blu Ray version that has the documentary in it, perhaps the one I saw back when it came out on TV to promote the film but this DVD version does not. It has both pan and scan and widescreen but this version is missing two bits of film from the VHS version that I remember. When Treece finds his buddy Kevin he puts his coat over the body and then hugs him which is touching. Later in the underwater climax Nolte uses the suction device's exaust to stun the big black henchman dude to escape but the full scene is missing just like the hugging scene.
This movie needs a full blown remaster to fix everything I would guess but the sales are not there to warrant the money it would take I would imagine.
I also read that there is an extended version that was shown on TV years ago. That should be done as well and I would buy it for sure because I love this movie.
I bought the VHS and two DVD's so far plus I saw the film in the theatre.

Doctor Cobra gives 2 FANGS down!

Save your money on this one. Not the complete version! Just buy the standard DVD and it should be almost as good when up-converted on your BD player. They did not use DNS and the picture has a soft grainy effect lacking detail but not a waxy look many don't like. I did however forget how boring this movie was since it drags on and on. If your into Jacqueline Bisset's famous wet t-shirt scene then this is a keeper.

Classic Movie
Added 9/12/2009
This is a classic Robert Shaw performance. Bermuda is the setting where my wife & I like to visit. The movie background scenes remind us of our visits there. Great Blu-ray presentation to bring the details to our flat screen TV.

Just Fullscreen
Added 9/4/2009
I bought this dvd based on the provided back cover picture which stated the disc had both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions on it. But the copy I was sent only had Fullscreen. Be sure to ask seller before buying.
