Back into the Abyss is a mini-documentary exploring the creative process and challenges that FX legend Steve Johnson and his crew faced to create the "non-terrestrial intelligence (NTI)" creatures for James Cameron's hit motion picture The Abyss.
Steve Johnson shares his memories, in which hedescribes with disbelief how Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron decided to, hirea "23-year-old-moron" to design the angelic underwater alien puppets upon which this iconic motion picture hinged upon.
