Plots(1)
A dreamy adolescent, Jacques (Jean-Marc Barr) has grown into a solitary man, caught between the solidity of the real world and the spiritual beckoning of "the big blue" - and in particular the dolphins swimming below. He possesses a unique connection to the sea, the ability to slow his heartbeat and circulation on deep dives, a phenomenon previously only observed in whales and dolphins. Enzo (Jean Reno), however, has become the World Champion at his sport with a very different approach. Their rivalry reignited, the pair spur each other on to deeper and deadlier dives. Besson's first English-language production is a story of extremes; of love and solitude, friendship and rivalry, life and death. The highest-grossing French film of the 1980s, The Big Blue, charts the competition and friendship between divers Jacques and Enzo - first in their youth and then when they meet again at the World Free-Diving Championships in Sicily years later.
