In Waterworld, the sea level has risen to cover almost all the land. The mysterious Mariner (Kevin Costner), who has adapted gills and webbed feet, is a trader between floating communities. He reluctantly agrees to protect a woman and a girl from the menacing Deacon (Dennis Hopper) as they search for Dryland.
Like Mad Max on the ocean, this 1995 cli-fi action film explores environmental breakdown, community and identity.
”The action set-pieces, from the Mariner’s battles with sea pirates to his underwater wrestling match with a giant mutant fish, are preposterously ambitious yet pulled off with aplomb.” – The Guardian
