Sleek intelligent beautiful...and bent on revenge. Producer Dino De Laurentis (King Kong, Ragtime) and director Michael Anderson (Around The World In 80 Days, Logan`s run) join forces to present the rousing action-adventure tale of Orca: The Killer Whale). It's the story of one powerful being against another: a strong, determined fisherman (Richard Harris) versus an equally determined killer whale. When the giant whale`s pregnant mate is maimed and killed by Harris, the whale seeks vengeance - smashing boats, attacking a seacoast village, and eventually luring his human adversaries to a final confrontation on the marine creature`s own arctic turf. Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson, and Bo Derek (in her feature film debut) also star in this seafaring epic brimming with nail-biting suspense and spectacular special effects.
