Introduction

An American submarine traveling through dangerous territorial waters is put in even more danger when two scientists bring venomous snakes on board.

Also known as Sea Snakes (TV title, US).

Outline

At the tail end of what has become a lackluster career, Lt. Cmdr. James O’Neill (Luke Perry) gets a chance to redeem himself when Adm. Bradley Wallace (Tom Berenger) recruits him to head a classified mission. He is to rescue government scientist Dr. Andrea Swanson (Krista Allen) from an island laboratory. O’Neill retrieves Swanson’s team with surprising ease, only to find his ship besieged by the scaly subjects of a top-secret research project — a vicious breed of genetically altered snakes.
