- Synopsis:
- Dr. Jake Terrell (George C. Scott) is a marine biologist specialising in Dolphins, whose life work is concentrated on developing inter-species communication; a working language between man and animals. But when his dolphins are stolen to be used for an assassination attempt, Jake finds himself in a race against time to catch the perpetrators...Caught in an agonising tug of war between his emotional commitment to his experiment and the outside world's insistence on using his accomplishments for its own purposes, Jake finds himself and his friends trapped in a complicated nightmare of physiological and political intrigue.
