Plot

In 1939, the luxury British ocean liner "Goliath", carrying 1,860 passengers, is hit by a torpedo fired by a U-boat and sinks while on a trans-Atlantic crossing to the United States three days after the outbreak of World War II.

Scientists aboard a research ship discover the wreck of the "Goliath" in 1981 lying upright in 1,000 feet (305 m) of water. Divers sent down to investigate the wreck, including oceanographer Peter Cabot (Mark Harmon), hear banging and music coming from the ship,cite news | last = Maslin | first = Janet | title = TV: 'Goliath Awaits,' Undersea Yarn | publisher = The New York Times | date = 1981-11-16 | url = http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A06E1DB1F39F935A25752C1A967948260 | accessdate = 2008-04-08] and are shocked to see a face at a porthole. They discover 337 survivors and their descendants living in an air bubble in the wreck. The residents of "Goliath", who have invented some technologies to help them survive, live in a utopian society under the leadership of John McKenzie (Christopher Lee). The scientists are surprised to discover that McKenzie and some of the ship's residents are not interested in being "rescued".

Complicating things, the "Goliath" had been carrying some sensitive documents to U.S. President Roosevelt. A joint American/British military team is sent by Admiral Wiley Sloan (Eddie Albert) to retrieve and destroy the documents.
