Goliath Awaits
Goliath Awaits is a 1981 American television movie originally broadcast in two parts in November 1981 on various stations as a part of Operation Prime Times syndicated programming. It is about a luxury passenger ship sunk by a torpedo fired by a German Uboat in 1939 that is discovered in 1981 with over 300 survivors and their descendants living in an air bubble in the wreck.
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, and are shocked to see the face of a beautiful young woman Emma Samms at a porthole. They discover 337 survivors and their descendants living in an air bubble in the wreck caused by the vessel having slowly sunk to a relatively shallow depth. The residents of Goliath, who have invented some technologies to help them survive, some not even known to the outside modern world, live in a superficially utopian society under the autocratic leadership of John McKenzie Christopher Lee, a junior officer at the time of the sinking credited with saving a portion of the passengers and crew. The scientists are surprised to discover that McKenzie and some of the ships residents are not interested in being rescued, and that there are outcasts and rebels opposed to McKenzies seemingly beneficent leadership, which also includes brutal discipline, mandatory contraception, euthanasia, and outright murder disguised as a mysterious disease.Complicating things, the Goliath had been carrying some sensitive documents to U.S. President Roosevelt. A joint AmericanBritish military team is sent by Admiral Wiley Sloan Eddie Albert to retrieve and destroy the documents. ........
