Orca : the killer whale

Anderson, Michael, 1920- (Added Author). Harris, Richard, 1930-2002 (Added Author). Rampling, Charlotte, 1946- (Added Author). Sampson, Will, 1935-1987 (Added Author). Derek, Bo. (Added Author). Paramount Pictures Corporation, (production company.). Criterion-on-Demand (Firm), (distributor.). Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson, Bo Derek, Keenan Wynn, Robert Carradine, Scott Walker, Peter Hooten. (Cast).

Summary: The natural beauty of Bo Derek in her screen debut and the supernatural spectacle of Dino De Laurentiis' (King Kong) masterful use of special effects on a gigantic scale highlights this rousing adventure story. It's the epic tale of one powerful being against another; a strong, determined fisherman (Richard Harris) versus an equally determined whale. When the giant whale's pregnant mate is maimed and killed by Harris, in a variation on Moby Dick, the whale seeks revenge on the man. Orca smashes boats, collapses buildings, and even manages to cause enormous destruction by fire. A suspenseful action drama.
