In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface of the water, a huge vessel rests on the ocean floor. Rushed to the scene is a group of American scientists who descend to the depths of the sea to investigate this astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a massive spaceship, undamaged from it's fall from the sky-and at least three hundred years old.

Many scenes, like Harry and Norman's conversation about making up the ULF report and dealing with Ted, were completely improvised.

Barnes:
Ask him for his last name.


Harry:
What?


Barnes:
I want a full name for my report. I'm not putting in my report that I lost a crew member on a deep-sat expedition to find an alien named "Jerry."

Factual errors: In several scenes the team members wear various recreational dive computers, which are useless on a 1000ft saturation dive.
