Description

1970s sci-fi thriller directed by Mike Nichols. After years of work, marine biologist Jake Terrell (George C. Scott) has found a way of communicating verbally with the dolphins he houses in his Florida research centre.

However, when it becomes clear that his sponsors want the dolphins trained to perform a commando-like sabotage operation on the yacht of the US President, Jake has to rethink the ethics of his own research.
