A solitary mariner navigates a drowned world while Dennis Hopper's pirate regime turns every encounter into a noisy production. The enormous sets and physical action deserve credit; the eccentric social rules and relentless scale make the adventure a generous source of aquatic pulp spectacle.

Synopsis and movie facts
In a futuristic world where the polar ice caps have melted and made Earth a liquid planet, a beautiful barmaid rescues a mutant seafarer from a floating island prison. They escape, along with her young charge, Enola, and sail off aboard his ship. But the trio soon becomes the target of a menacing pirate who covets the map to 'Dryland'—which is tattooed on Enola's back.
