Si vuole riportare a galla il Titanic, transatlantico inabissatosi nel 1912 a 3700 metri sotto il livello dell'Atlantico. Maltrattato dalla critica e ignorato dal pubblico è un intrigo di fantaspionaggio con un bieco risvolto da guerra fredda, un finale di pacifismo smaccato e personaggi a due dimensioni, pezzi di un meccano ai quali gli attori tentano inutilmente di dare vita. Costò 40 milioni di dollari e ne incassò 7. Da un romanzo di Clive Cussler.AUTORE LETTERARIO: Clive Cussler
