Featured as mini-series it was aired in Brazil in 1984 split in two episodes, on late nineties it came out in VHS cut off version of 167 minutes, directed by an expert in cinema Fantastique as the British Kevin Connor THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT and WARLORDS OF THE DEEP just named a few, upon this fabulous background nobody could be better job in Goliath Awaits, a large British vessel Goliath torpedoed in 1939 and randomly locate at bottom of Atlantic in 1981, incredible 233 living persons still were there, an international efforts led by US's Navy to bring back all survivors.
Turns out that the brainy Capt. Mackenzie (Christopher Lee) already settles all damages in the machinery with few adjustments whereof becoming it able to hold a life within the ship self-sustaining, the arrival of the rescuers as the Cmdr. Jeff Selkirk (Robert Forster) Peter Cabot (Mark Hamill) and the Doctor Sam Marlowe (Alex Cord) is surrounding by mistrust mainly by Mackenzie's influence behind the bleak Dan Wesker (Frank Gorshin), slowing the rescuers figure out that they weren't welcome there, in society dictatorial led by the selfish Mackenzie also they learn a gang of rebels hidden in forsaken wing of the vessel, meanwhile at core of ship Mackenzie was chosen by the self-called supreme council as permanent ruler of the ship, worst they want going back whatsoever.
A Science-fiction with touches of unrealistic premise, who cares anyway, it somehow followed the same storyline in the famous THE TWILIGHT ZONE'S ON THURSDAY WE LEAVE FOR HOME, just summarizing "Better ruling in hell than be a servant in surface" that is the main point, jarring at first glance, however make sense, finally I find a long version in a fine print at Youtube with the classic dubbed version to my pleasure.
Thanks for reading
