101 Films will release The Deep (1977) on Blu-ray on 14th September 2020.

A lavish, suspense-filled adventure, directed by Peter Yates (Bullitt) and adapted from Jaws writer Peter Benchley’s best-selling novel, this UK Blu-ray debut includes a new commentary, a new interview with the underwater art director Terry Ackland-Snow.

Gail Berke (Jacqueline Bisset) and David Sanders (Nick Nolte) are on a romantic holiday in Bermuda when they come upon the sunken wreck of a WWII freighter. Near it, they find an ampule of morphine, one of tens of thousands still aboard the wrecked ship. Their discovery leads them to a Haitian drug dealer, Cloche (Louis Gossett), and an old treasure hunter, Romer Treece (Robert Shaw). With Cloche in pursuit, Gail, David and Treece try to recover the sunken treasure.
