He's the lone survivor of a lost civilization...thrust into ours. A giant storm tosses ashore a being who is both human and a creature of the deep. Mark Harris is the name given him by the astonished scientists who study and protect their remarkable find. Harris is equally astonished, a fish out of water eager to learn about us. Patrick Duffy plays the Atlantean in the origins movie that (along with three more films) preceded the cult-fave Man from Atlantis series. In this adventure, Harris uses his amazing underwater abilities to save mankind from a madman's (Victor Buono) plot to launch missiles from all the world's nuclear submarines!
