action
In October 1962, a Soviet submarine attempted to bring biological weapons to Havana during the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, the Americans locate the submarine and send it to the sea floor with two torpedoes. Despite an intensive search, the wreck was not found. The toxic liquid on board enters the ocean through the ruptured hull.
38 years later: The inexperienced CIA agent John Turner succeeded in catching the top terrorist Milo Gorack, known as "Casper", who has been wanted for years in Sofia , Bulgaria . To avoid attempts at liberation by Casper's terrorist organization, he is said to be brought to the United States in a nuclear submarine . On their way they cross the contaminated area of the Soviet submarine wreck. A huge mutant octopus has developed there over the years and attacks the submarine. Before the submarine is destroyed, Casper manages to launch a radio buoy in the chaos. The last survivors can save themselves to the surface of the sea with a submersible, but there the terrorists are already waiting for them with a hijacked cruise ship.
When trying to escape from the cruise ship in a helicopter, Casper is thrown into the sea by the octopus and his escape helicopter.

Reviews
"Really virtuoso staged action and monster film with a lot of sailor's thread, the focus of which is the development of the young hero, but which at the end of the day cannot offer more than worthy entertainment with a series of more or less successful effects."
“The rolling tentacles are reminiscent of Trash Pope Ed Wood ( Revenge of the Strangler ) , but his thrust was funnier. Conclusion: This octopus is only good in garlic sauce. "
“The animation ranges from good to crappy, but is still OK for direct-to-video production. [...] Anyone who likes TV trash is still well entertained, but anyone who has any claims should keep their hands off the film. "
