Waterworld (1995) is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure film directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Dennis Hopper. Set in a future where the polar ice caps have melted, flooding the Earth and creating a vast world of water, Waterworld is known for its ambitious scale, high-budget production, and its exploration of themes like survival, environmental collapse, and the human spirit.

The film takes place in a dystopian future where the Earth has been completely submerged by rising sea levels caused by the melting of the polar ice caps. The landmasses are gone, and humanity has been forced to live on floating cities, makeshift rafts, and on small islands. The remaining survivors are divided into factions, with pirates and scavengers preying on the weak.

Their journey brings them into conflict with the Smokers, a band of violent pirates led by Deacon (Dennis Hopper), who wants to capture Enola and the map to control access to Dryland. Deacon’s crew is ruthless, and they relentlessly pursue the Mariner and his companions across the oceans, leading to high-stakes battles on the water and dramatic moments of survival.
