Plot [contains spoilers]:
In October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a Soviet submarine delivers barrels of nuclear material to Cuba and has to outrun an American submarine. When the Executive officer suggests that the submarine should slow down and identify itself, the captain shoots him. The submarine is hit by torpedoes and damaged, drowning the crew and releasing radioactive material into its nearby waters. It causes an octopus to grow into a monstrous size, attacking submarines and naval vehicles off Cuba’s coasts.

In the year 2000, in Sofia, Bulgaria, two CIA officials, Roy Turner and Henry Campbell, are about to discuss files, before they go out for a walk. Meanwhile, someone disguised as an old woman gives a bag to an official’s daughter, but the bomb inside the bag detonates, killing everyone inside the American embassy and injuring many people nearby. The two officials pursue the old woman who is revealed to be a man in disguise. However, the bomber’s henchmen crash a car at Henry, injuring and killing him. Afterwards, Roy pursues the bomber and captures him.

The terrorist is captured and taken into a submarine. But, his henchmen hijack the vessel and threaten the crew to release him. However, the submarine is attacked by the giant octopus from before.
