Proto's Recap
The crew of an experimental mining rig, submerged on the ocean floor, is called into duty by the Navy when a nuclear sub is scuttled and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. The rig’s crew are the only ones capable of helping out. They are joined by Navy SEALs who come along to oversee the operation and they encounter some otherworldly creatures. They end up having a run-in with the Navy SEALs and one of them goes a little nuts. The SEALs repurpose a nuclear warhead in an attempt to destroy the sub once the first plan falls apart and all hell breaks loose. Our hero Bud pulls it out with a victory in the end.
