The melting of polar ice has resulted in all continents becoming submerged in water, forcing humans to adapt to their new environment.
They now live in rugged, floating communities known as atolls, feeding on seafood and living off trades. Plants, dirt, and soil cost more than gold and people use their urine for cultivation due to lack of fresh water.

00:00emerged in water, forcing humans to adapt to their new environment. They now live in rugged,
00:05floating communities known as atolls, feeding on seafood and living off of trades. Plants,
00:10dirt, and soil cost more than gold, and people use their urine for cultivation due to lack of
00:15fresh water. In other words, this movie was the inspiration for Burning Man. Although the world
00:21is turned into an endless giant ocean, many believe there still exists dry land somewhere.
00:26Several groups of people are looking for the said magical place in hopes of living a better life,
00:31but no one has been successful yet. We are introduced to a man named Mariner,
00:35who lives in a ramshackle boat that appears to be made of scrap. Boy, Costner sure loved showing
00:40off his ass in the 90s. He is seen urinating in a small vessel and then pouring this urine into a
00:46machine that converts it into drinkable water. In the boat, he has planted a lime tree, a rare
00:50commodity in the world with no land. Mariner does fishing and collects reusable trash from the
00:55ocean for his survival. One afternoon, after a dive, he notices another boat approaching him.
01:00The man on the other boat tells Mariner about an atoll, where he obtained various supplies. He
01:05wants to trade them, but when Mariner learns that the man wants nothing in return, he begins to doubt
01:10him. He soon realizes that the man has stolen all of his limes. Simultaneously, a group of smokers
01:16arrives in their jet skis and begins attacking them. Despite the fact that Mariner's boat is made up of
01:21scrap, it is fast and he is able to escape, whereas the other man is apprehended by the smokers.
01:27Following this, Mariner arrives at the atoll, a floating city surrounded by high metal walls.
01:33At the gate, he says he's there to trade his belongings. Upon heading inside, he reveals that
01:37he has some genuine dirt to trade, which is extremely rare. Seeing this, the people of the
01:43atoll give him 124 chits in exchange for a jar of dirt. He then uses the same chits to purchase a
01:49tomato plant, which is full of dirt, and some other scraps from a woman named Helen. After the
01:54trade, he is returning to his boat when a family approaches him and asks him to impregnate their
01:58daughter, but he refuses to do so. Not accepting a woman makes them think he's nuts, so they order
02:04the locals to stop him. After he is apprehended, the locals discover Mariner is a mutant, with gills
02:09behind his ears and webbed feet. Mariner tries to fight back, but he is captured under a fishing net.
02:15Later that night, Helen meets with an elderly man named Gregor and inquires as to when they
02:20can depart for dry land. Gregor informs that the direction for the dry land is tattooed on the back
02:25of a little girl named Enola, but he does not understand it. Gregor then considers asking Mariner
02:30about it, who is imprisoned inside a cage. Following this, he approaches Mariner and inquires
02:35about the mutation, but Mariner appears to be dismissive of him. Only when Gregor shows the picture
02:40of the tattoo, does Mariner seem interested. In exchange for the information, Mariner wants him
02:45to open the cage, but Gregor is not allowed to do so. The next day, the local people decide to drown
02:51Mariner in the swamp pit by lowering his cage, but to his good fortune, simultaneously, an army of
02:57smokers led by Deacon arrives to attack the atoll. They are also looking for the mythical dry land,
03:03and want to get to the little girl who holds the secret to its path. Soon after, the smokers encircle
03:09the atoll, and begin shooting with large machine guns, killing several atoll residents. Eventually,
03:14the smokers with the jet skis enter the building via self-built ramps. Inside, Gregor fills a balloon,
03:20and inadvertently flies away, abandoning Helen and Enola. Meanwhile, Mariner tries to break free,
03:26but his cage collapses, causing it to shrink gradually. Helen notices this and rushes to his
03:31aid. She agrees to assist him, but only if he takes her and Enola with him, to which he agrees.
03:36Following this, he tells the girls to open the gate until he starts his boat. Unfortunately,
03:41the gate becomes stuck, so Mariner uses the ship's rigging to fly up, open the gate, and jump back
03:47to the boat. Enola and Helen also board the boat and make their way out of atoll. On the other hand,
03:52the smoker with machine guns continues to fire in an undetermined direction, causing their leader
03:57Deacon's boat to explode. However, Deacon dives into the sea at that precise moment, saving his life.
04:03After the battle, the smokers continue looking for Enola, having found that she has the tattoo of
04:09the way to dry land. The smokers bind one of the locals and inquire about Enola. Fearful of death,
04:14the man reveals everything he knows, but he is killed anyway. As they sail away, Helen asks Mariner
04:20if he knows how to get to dry land, to which he responds in the affirmative. However, he advises her
04:25to throw Enola away before going there, because they have limited food and water. Helen tries to
04:30persuade him not to do so. She even offers herself in turn for the little girl's life,
04:35but Mariner dismisses her. Men with gills and webbed feet are asexual. After a while, Mariner
04:40notices Enola drawing on his boat, which irritates him, and he throws her into the water. Helen panics,
04:46knowing that Enola is unable to swim, so she dives in to save her. Mariner appears to abandon the two
04:51in the water, but he later returns to pick them up. As soon as they get on the boat, the smokers arrive on a
04:57plane and begin shooting at them. While Mariner goes down to retrieve his weapon, Helen rushes
05:01towards the large spear gun and fires at it without Mariner's permission. As a result, the plane is now
05:07tethered to the boat by the metal rope and begins circling it, tangling it in a web. When Mariner
05:12notices this, he rushes up to cut the rope and untangle the boat, while the smokers do the same.
05:17A few moments later, the smokers are able to shoot the rope and fly away, whereas Mariner swings off and
05:22lands in the water. He is furious at Helen for destroying the boat, so he cuts both her and
05:27Enola's hair as punishment. Weird. On the other hand, Deacon guesses their location and deploys his
05:33men to find Enola. While sailing, they come across a drifter who admits to having some important papers
05:38and offers to trade them in exchange for Helen. Helen refuses, but Mariner agrees. The drifter takes
05:45Helen to his boat, while Mariner quickly examines the paper and discovers that it is useless. He quickly
05:50rushes into the drifter's boat and cancels the deal. This enrages the drifter. The drifter says he has a
05:56zero return policy and tries to stab Mariner. A fight ensues and Mariner kills the drifter. In the
06:02next scene, Mariner demonstrates how he fishes. He dives into the water as bait, and soon a massive
06:07mutated fish appears. He then uses his weapon to kill the fish and prepares food for everyone. Mariner was
06:14rude to them at first, but now he appears to be nice to them as he starts talking to Enola. He allows
06:19Enola to draw with a colored pencil and also teaches her how to swim. Helen appears concerned
06:24as she witnesses their bond growing stronger. After a while, they come across the barter outpost
06:29and notice some men waving at them. Mariner is suspicious, so he looks beneath the water and
06:34discovers the smokers waiting for them. He immediately turns the boat around in order to
06:38flee, but the smokers give chase. They somehow manage to avoid the attacks of the smokers. Mariner
06:43then deploys the extra sails as parachutes, allowing them to flee faster. After they are
06:48safe, Mariner forces Helen to reveal the truth about Enola's tattoo, so she discloses that the
06:54tattoo is the path to dry land. When Mariner hears this, he claims that dry land is a myth, but she
06:59does not believe him. As a result, he decides to show her. He places Helen inside a large bubble and
07:05submerges her. He can breathe through his gills, so he takes her deep into the ocean and shows her the
07:11past world, which is completely covered in water, which shocks her. Meanwhile, Enola is waiting for
07:16them in the boat when she notices something in the water and quickly hides. When Mariner and Helen
07:21swim to the surface, they discover that they have been apprehended by the smokers. Deacon coerces them
07:26into telling him about Enola, but they both remain silent. Deacon then shoots at the air, pretending
07:31to kill them, and as a result, Enola comes out, being concerned, and she is quickly captured by the
07:37smokers. Deacon orders his men to kill Mariner and Helen, but the two escape by diving into the
07:42water. Helen says she can't hold her breath that long, and Mariner tells her that he'll breathe for
07:47her. How's he gonna do that? Oh, he'll just make out with her for a while, I see. After some time,
07:52they return to the surface and discover that their boat has been destroyed. On the other hand,
07:57Deacon pretends to be nice to Enola and inquires about the tattoo behind her back, but she remains
08:02silent. He then offers her some colored pencils and asks her again, but she doesn't say anything.
08:07Back on the destroyed boat, Mariner and Helen are hopeless. Helen inquires as to why he did not
08:12accept her when she offered herself, to which he responds that she did not like him then. The
08:17answer touches her heart, and she kisses him, before the two of them make love on the boat,
08:22because there's no turn-on like knowing that your surrogate daughter has been kidnapped.
08:26The following day, Mariner attempts to repair the boat, but they discover Gregor and his hot air
08:31balloon. This guy's nuts. Gregor then takes him to the boat, where the survivors of Atoll are staying.
08:36At night, they talk about going on a search for dry land, but the people aren't ready to look for
08:40Enola, because it's dangerous to face the smokers. Mariner then decides to go on his own,
08:45in search of the little girl. After a while, he arrives at the smoker's ship and enters it,
08:50killing the smokers one after another. I can imagine no scarier death than being held underwater by Kevin
08:56Costner. Meanwhile, Deacon gathers the smokers and lies to them, claiming to have discovered the way to
09:02dry land. He orders everyone to begin rowing, thereby propelling the ship forward. As the men
09:07begin to row, Mariner approaches Deacon alone and asks to free Enola. When Deacon refuses,
09:13Mariner threatens to drop the flame into the oil reserve, which will cause the entire ship to
09:17explode. Deacon does not believe he will act irrationally, but Mariner is batshit and drops
09:22the flame, causing a massive explosion. Deacon then flees with the little girl before Mariner reaches
09:28the top at the podium and notices him on the plane. He immediately fires a spear gun at the ship's
09:33fence and ziplines down. Following that, he uses the metal rope to create a barrier, causing the
09:38plane to crash before taking off. Fortunately, Enola is unharmed, and the two of them embrace.
09:44However, the ship begins to break down, leaving them with no means of escape. Fortunately, Helen Gregor
09:50and an atoll resident arrive. Before the ship breaks down, they drop the rope and pull Mariner and
09:55Enola up, but Deacon grabs the rope and climbs up as well. When Helen notices this, she throws a heavy
10:01object at him, and Enola kicks him, causing him to fall into the ocean. Mariner and Helen make it to
10:07the hot air balloon, but a persistent Deacon jumps on a jet ski and shoots at the hot air balloon,
10:12causing Enola to fall into the water. Deacon orders his men to capture the little girl,
10:16but Mariner is quick to respond. He grabs the rope and ties it around his leg before leaping from the hot
10:22air balloon. He successfully grabs Enola, the rope becomes a bungee cord, and he springs up just in
10:28time, causing the jet skis to collide and explode. Finally, they reach the hot air balloon safely.
10:34This time, Gregor is able to understand Enola's tattoo and head in the direction of dry land.
10:39After several days of flight, they spot a bird on their hot air balloon. When they look further,
10:44they are astounded to see land for the first time in their lives. They are overjoyed to finally be here
10:50and begin exploring the area. A few moments later, they notice a small hut and enter it to find a
10:55couple's bones lying together. They also discover the map drawing, which is similar to the one on
11:00Enola's back. That hut is revealed to be owned by Enola's family. Her family appears to have sent her
11:05away in the hope that she will bring more people to dry land. Meanwhile, Mariner finds the land to be
11:10uncomfortable. Plus, look at that leather jerkin and those earrings. This guy can't be held down by
11:16one lady and he feels that he belongs in the sea. He then approaches Enola and informs her that he is
11:22leaving, which saddens her. He tells her that he isn't born for dry land, but she tries to assure him
11:27that he will adapt. However, he doesn't change his mind and bids Enola and Helen one final goodbye
11:32before departing. In the final scene, Helen and Enola realize that they're on the summit of Mount Everest.
11:38Crazy. They then watch Mariner
