A novelization of this film was written by [[Orson Scott Card]], based on the screenplay. Mastrantonio and Harris read the first two chapters, which were extrapolated by Card from the script, to prepare for their characters.

* [[Abstract Scale]]:
Line 40:
* [[Dirty Communists]]: The setup for the plot was for an American salvage team to recover a sunken American nuclear submarine before the Soviets did. The Director's Cut expands on the [[Cold War]] subplot, with the salvage efforts being likened to a second Cuban Missile Crisis due to the wreck's close proximity to Cuba.
* [[Distress Call]]: The divers are responding to a crashed nuclear sub.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Bud's real first name is [[Embarrassing First Name|Virgil]]. Inverted at the end when he allows himself to be called that.
* [[Dramatic Space Drifting|Dramatic Underwater Drifting]]: The wreckage of the ''U.S.S. Montana''.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: Against ''Deepstar Six'' and ''[[Leviathan (film)|Leviathan]]''.
Line 114:
** [[Actor Allusion|Not the last time]] [[The Rock|a Marine loyal to Ed Harris pwns a Navy SEAL]]...
* [[Sensor Suspense]]: In the opening scene a U.S. Navy submarine is tracking an unknown underwater object by sonar. The sonar blip is projected on a screen, showing the object maneuvering near the sub.
* [[Shout-Out
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The writers somehow manage to work in obscure (but real) things like High Pressure Nervous Syndrome and the Mammalian Diving Reflex into the plot.
* [[Someone Has to Die]]: See [[Heroic Sacrifice]], above.
