Synopsis: In a future where the polar ice-caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely submerged, a mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaw “smokers,” and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land. Principal Cast : Kevin Costner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dennis Hopper, Tina Majorino, Michael Jeter, RD Call, Kim Coates, Robert Joy, Robert LaSardo, Gerard Murphy, John Fleck, John Toles-Bey, Zakes Mokae, Sab Shimono, Leonardo Cimino, Rick Aviles, William Preston, Lee Arenger, Jack Black. ![]()
