“Waterworld” is an ambitious sci-fi action movie with a unique premise, stunning visuals and intense action. But Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic adventure is remembered as one of Hollywood’s biggest flops and disappointments.
“Waterworld,” which celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, stars Costner as the Mariner, a drifter in a world covered in water. The Mariner reluctantly agrees to help Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and the young Enola (Tina Majorino) search for dry land while avoiding the villainous Deacon (Dennis Hopper), who believes the little girl holds the secret that will change the world.
