Synopsis
Contains Additional 49 Minutes Of Footage

Experience the peril and intensity of free-diving, the world's most dangerous sport, in The Big Blue. Jacques (Jean-Marc Barr, Breaking The Waves) and his friendly rival Enzo (Jean Reno, The Professional) are considered masters of free-diving and have made a career out of this one-of-a-kind competition. Jacques' life-long obsession with diving comes from his unusual bond with the sea, while Enzo thrives on the challenges of its inherent danger. In his travels, Jacques meets Johanna (Rosanna Arquette, Pulp Fiction), who is attracted to his innocent qualities and follows him across Europe to share his adventures, triumphs and ultimately tragic bond with Enzo. With breathtaking underwater photography and matching musical support from Eric Serra (The Fifth Element), The Big Blue immerses you in a life and death adventure you'll never forget.

A film as deep as the sea! - 5 out of 5  (8/21/2000)
