Following the map, Gregor, the Mariner, the Atoll Enforcer, Helen, and Enola discover Dryland, the top of Mount Everest, filled with vegetation and wildlife. Sometime later, Gregor has been able to identify the tattoo on Enola's back as coordinates with reversed directions. As The Deacon and some of his men converge on Enola to capture her, the Mariner makes an impromptu bungee jump from the balloon to grab Enola right before the Deacon and his men collide and die in the explosion. He fires upon the balloon, shaking Enola from the balloon and into the ocean. He is kicked off into the water, but climbs aboard a jet ski. As the Mariner brings Enola to Helen, the Deacon manages to grab the rope to escape the sinking ship. The Mariner rescues Enola and escapes via a rope from Gregor's balloon with Helen and the Atoll Enforcer aboard. The ship's lower decks are engulfed in fire, and the ship starts to sink. The Deacon calls the Mariner's bluff, knowing that would destroy the ship, but, to his surprise, the Mariner drops a flare into the oil. With most of the Smokers below deck to row the tanker, the Mariner confronts the Deacon, threatening to ignite the reserves of oil still on the tanker unless he returns Enola. The Mariner takes a captured Smoker's jet ski to chase down the Deacon aboard the hulk of the Exxon Valdez. Gregor manages to catch up to and rescue them, and he takes them to a new makeshift atoll inhabited by the survivors of the first attack. When they surface, they find that his boat has been destroyed. The Mariner takes Helen, and they dive underwater to avoid capture, with the gilled Mariner helping Helen breathe. The Smokers abduct Enola and try to kill Helen and the Mariner. When they surface, they find that the Smokers have caught up to them, threatening to kill them if they do not reveal Enola, who is hiding aboard the boat. He provides her with a diving bell and dives with her underwater, showing the remains of a city and the dirt on the ocean's floor, affirming Helen's belief. Helen explains that she believes humans once lived on land and demands to know where the Mariner collected his dirt.
He angrily refuses to take her to Dryland. They escape, but Helen's naïve actions result in damage to the Mariner's boat. The three escape to open sea aboard the trimaran, pursued by the Smokers. Helen instead frees the Mariner and insists that he take the two of them with him. Enola's guardian Helen attempts to escape with Enola on a gas balloon with Gregor, an inventor, but the balloon is released too early. Just then, the atoll is attacked by the Smokers, a gang of pirates seeking a girl named Enola who, according to their leader the Deacon, has a map to Dryland tattooed on her back. The atoll's residents see that the Mariner is a mutant with gills and webbed feet and decide to drown him in the atoll's recycling pit, a kind of liquid compost facility. The Mariner, a lone drifter, arrives on his trimaran to trade dirt, a rare commodity, for other supplies. People believe that there is a mythological "Dryland" somewhere in the endless ocean. The remains of human civilization live on ramshackle floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land. In 2500, as a result of the sea levels rising over 8,200 metres (26,900 ft), every continent on Earth is now underwater. The film's release was accompanied by a novelization, video game, and four themed attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Singapore, Universal Studios Japan, and Universal Studios Beijing called Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular, all of which are still running as of 2021. The film was 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 despite being one of the highest grossing films of 1995 however, the film did later become profitable owing 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 execution including 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 polar ice cap has completely melted, and the sea level has risen over 7,600 m (25,000 ft), covering nearly all of the land. The setting of the film is in the distant future. It was distributed by Universal Pictures. It was based on Rader's original 1986 screenplay and stars Kevin Costner, who also produced it with Charles Gordon and John Davis. Waterworld is a 1995 American post-apocalyptic action film directed by Kevin Reynolds and co-written by Peter Rader and David Twohy.
