The atoll's residents see the Mariner is a mutant with gills and webbed feet, and decide to drown him in a brine pool. The Mariner (Kevin Costner), a sole drifter, arrives on his trimaran to trade dirt, a rare commodity, for other supplies. The remains of human civilization live on ramshackle floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land, though believe there is a mythological "Dryland" somewhere in the world. Long after the melting of the polar ice caps in the 21st century, the sea levels have covered every continent on Earth.
Universal Studios Hollywood had closed it down for refurbishment, but had it re-opened in April 2017. The film's release was accompanied by a tie-in novel, video game, and three themed attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Singapore, and Universal Studios Japan called Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular, which are all still running as of 2020. The film was also nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Sound at the 68th Academy Awards. The film also was unable to recoup its massive budget at the box office however, the film did later become profitable due to video and other post-cinema sales. The most expensive film ever made at the time, Waterworld was released to mixed reviews, praising the futuristic setting and premise but criticizing the characterization and acting performances. The plot of the film centers on an otherwise nameless antihero, "The Mariner", a drifter who sails the Earth in his trimaran. The film illustrates this with an unusual variation on the Universal logo, which begins with the usual image of Earth, but shows the planet's water levels gradually rising and the polar ice caps melting until nearly all the land is submerged. The polar ice caps have completely melted, and the sea level has risen over 7,600 m (25,000 feet), covering nearly all of the land. Although no exact date was given in the film itself, it has been suggested that it takes place in 2500. The setting of the film is in the distant future.
