The planet’s polar ice caps have completely melted and covered the Earth under water. Dry land is a myth and the remnants of humanity cling to ramshackle settlements and rusted boats. Kevin Coster stars as “the Mariner,” a solitary sailor who has evolved gills and webbed appendages to cope with the planet’s now wetter state. With deadly pirates roaming the world-spanning ocean, the sea drifter soon becomes the protector of a mysterious child with a map tattooed on her back – a map that could lead the dregs of mankind back to one of the few remaining islands. The mega-budgeted box office flop also had an apocalyptic effect on Costner’s subsequent career, unofficially marking the end of his tenure as an A-list leading man.
