When a US submarine sinks near the Cayman Trough after an encounter with an
unidentified entity, the nearby underwater drilling platform Deep Core is sent
to attempt a rescue, accompanied with a SEAL team. They do not find any
survivor, but one of the civilians sees a non-terrestrial entity. Believing it
to be a Soviet submarine, the SEALs take the platform's largest submarine for
secretly recovering one of the submarine's nuclear warhead, preventing the
platform's crew from disconnecting its tether to their surface base, the
Explore, before the coming storm rips it off. The tether's reel is ripped off
the Explorer and drags Deep Core to the edge of the trench, partially flooding
the platform and killing several people. While waiting, the crew sees another
manifestation of the NTI as a pseudopod that also takes a look at the nuclear
warhead. This prompts the SEAL's leader, suffering from paranoia due to
high-pressure nervous syndrome, to use one of the platform's ROV to deliver
the warhead to the NTI inhabiting the trench. A battle and an underwater chase
ensues in which the SEAL is killed. The chief of the platform, Bud, then
decides to use a diving suit equipped with a liquid-breathing apparatus
brought by the SEALs to dive into the trench and disarm the warhead. He has do
dive deeper than planned and has not oxygen left for the return trip. Waiting
to die, he is rescued by the NTI who show him television images of humans
killing each other in wars, as well as gigantic tsunami, created by the NTI,
threatening all the coasts of the world. They however stop the waves as Bud
has shown, by risking his life to save the NTIs, that they are also capable of
compassion. The NTI's underwater mothership, carrying Bud, then rises to the
surface, lifting Deep Core and saving the crew's lives (magically removing the
need for decompression).

Three convicts, Pete, Delmar and Ulysses escape from a chain gang in order to
retrieve a treasure in a place that will soon be flooded to make a lake. They
first seek refuge at Pete's cousin's who betrays them to the police. They
manage to escape in a car and pick up Tommy, a guitar player. In need for
money, they stop at a radio station who pays singers to record their songs and
introduce themselves as the Soggy Bottom Boys. They part with Tommy after their
car is found by the police. Their song becomes a hit, and producers start to
search for the band; the trio knows nothing of that. Later near a river, they
encounter three women washing clothes and singing. The women get them drunk
and they lose consciousness. They wake up alone, Pete gone with only his
clothes left, inhabited by a toad; Delmar believes that the women have
transformed their friend. Later in a town, they meet a Big Dan, a one-eyed
Bible salesman who gets them to invite him to a picnic, where Big Dan mugs
them and kills the toad. On their way to Ulysses' home town, they see Pete
working in a chain gang. Once in town, Ulysses confronts his ex-wife Penny who
is about to re-marry with Vernon, the campaign manager of Stokes, opposing the
current governor in the next election. Penny had told their daughters that
Ulysses was dead, and the latter gets beaten by Vernon. Ulysses and Delmar
free Pete from his jail; under torture he had revealed the location of the
treasure. Ulysses confesses there is no treasure, he fabricated the story to
convince the two men chained to him to help him escape so that he could get
back to his wife. The trio then stumble upon a Ku Klux Klan rally about to
lynch Tommy. They disguise as Klan members to rescue him, but are recognized by
Big Dan. Chaos ensues, killing Big Dan and revealing that Stokes is the Grand
Wizard. Ulysses convinces his two friends to help him win his wife back, so
they sneak into the campaign gala dinner and sing their radio hit, getting
acclaimed by the crowd. Stokes arrives, recognizes them, demands them to be
arrested, and reveals his white supremacist views. The crowd runs him out of

pardon in public. Penny agrees to marry Ulysses if he gets her original ring,
left in a house in the valley which will be flooded. The next morning, they
arrives at the house but they are arrested by the sheriff who is set on
hanging them on the spot. They are saved by the incoming flood; Tommy finds
the ring in a desk that floats by, and Ulysses finally gives it to Penny. She
complains it's the wrong one and that she will not marry him until he finds
the right one.

Jeffrey “The Dude” Lewbowski, a slacker living in Los Angeles, is mistakenly
assaulted in his home by two men who want to recover money owed by the
millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski's trophy wife, Bunny. One of the men urinates on
the Dude's carpet before leaving. Following his dubious bowling partner
Walter's advice, the Dude meets with the millionaire and swindles a carpet
from his home. The millionaire later contacts the Dude and ask him to be ready
to deliver a suitcase containing one million dollars as a ransom to save
Bunny. The same evening he is attacked by two thugs sent by Maud, the
millionaire's daughter who wants to get the carpet (her favourite) back. The
next day, the delivery of the ransom fails due to Walter's interference, and
soon after the Dude's car containing the suitcase is then stolen outside the
bowling alley. The millionaire then confronts the Dude and shows him a severed
toe, supposedly Bunny's. Maud then asks the Dude to help recover the money
which her father illegally withdrew from the family's foundation. The Dude
is then abducted by Jackie Treehorn, Bunny's creditor, who demands to know
where Bunny (and his money) are. The Dude explains that Bunnny faked her
abduction and that the money is with the teenager who stole the Dude's care.
The Dude then notices he's been drugged, and is left outside on the streets of
Malibu where he is threatened by the chief of police. Back home, he finds Maud
who has sex with him because she wants a child whose father would not matter.
She also reveals that the millionaire has no money of his own, it all came
from Maud's mother. The Dude and Walter confront the millionaire and discover
that Bunny has returned, having simply gone out of town without telling
anyone. Bunny's nihilist friend has used the opportunity to extract money from
her husband, who in turn has tried to embezzle money from the foundation and
blame its disappearance on the kidnappers; there never was any money in the
suitcase. Later outside the bowling alley, the Dude and his friends are
attacked by the nihilists which are quickly defeated, but their third friend
Donny dies from a heart attack. The Dude and Walter scatter his ashes, and
then go back bowling.

Peter overhears Linda saying she will go back to New York and arranges to
board the same ocean liner with his ballet troupe. Linda warms up to Peter,
but a rumor starts saying that they are perhaps married. Baird and Linda's
impresario Miller create a publicity stunt taking pictures of Peter, asleep in
bed with a realistic looking dummy of Linda lying next to him. Outraged, Linda
decides to get maried with Jim Montgommery. Peter and Linda happen to lodge at
the same hotel, causing more quid pro quo. To squelch the rumor, Linda decides
they must get a divorce, for which they first need to get married, overnight
in New Jersey. Linda then begins to fall in love with Peter, but then
discovers him with another woman, Denise, and leaves before he can explain
that Denise is actually chasing him. Peter and his ballet then organize a show
where all the other dancers wear masks with Linda's face, explaining that if
he cannot dance with her, he would dance with the image of her. Linda sees the
show and realizes Peter truly loves her and joins him on stage.

is then contacted by Eron who proposes him to become a guinea pig for STEM on
the condition that it remains a secret. Grey recovers his motor functions and
quickly discovers that STEM has a consciousness and can talk to him. Together,
they track Asha's killers one by one, Grey letting STEM take control of his
body during fights against the gangsters, who are former soldiers. While Eron
tries to remotely shut down STEM, the latter directs Grey to a hacker who
prevents further interference by Eron. Grey then learns that the criminals
were hired by Eron and he therefore confronts him. Eron however reveals that
he is not in control of the company, as STEM had taken over a long while ago
and had organized the whole machination in order to be placed into a Grey's
rare human body that does not have other implants. In the end, STEM kills
Eron, creates a fantasy world where Asha is alive for Grey's mind to be
isolated and walks out into the world as a human.

his brother Elwood, who forces him to visit the orphanage where they spent
their childhood. They are scolded for bad behaviour by the director, Sister

was booked by the owner. As they finish and leave a tab higher than what they
have earned, the legitimate band, the Good Ol' Boys, arrives and quickly
becomes yet another party chasing the Blues Brothers. As the deadline for the
payment nears, they persuade their old agent to book a large venue for a
concert, and with the help of their friends, they advertise it, attracting a
large crowd. The advertising (done partly by driving around Chicago with a

After the global chemical war, the only two livable regions left of Earth are
the United Federation of Britain and the Colony (Australia). Poor workers from
Australia commute every day to the UFB using the Fall, a gravity elevator that
goes through the Earth in a few minutes. In the Colony, the Resistance seeks
to improve the living conditions, and are accused by Chancellor Cohaagen of acts
of terrorism. Colony worker Douglas Quaid has a depressing life and strange
recurring dreams. One day he decides to get artificial memories implanted (the
specialty of a company called Rekall), where he would be a spy. He reacts
badly to the treatment and recovers some memory of a past life as well as
amazing fighting skills, causing him to be attacked first by his wife Lori,
then chased by the police's robot agents. He then gets a phone call from a
former colleague who leads him to a message of himself, the address of an
apartment in the UFB and the means to go there. Soon after arriving he is
again chased by Lori but is saved by Melina, the woman he sees in his dreams.
Hiding at the apartment, he finds another message from himself revealing that
his real identity is Carl Hauser a UFB agent tasked with infiltrating the
Resistance, and implanted with false memories when he went rogue. Cohaagen's
plan is to invade the Colony with an army of robots that would replace the
Colonists as labourer and giving the UFB more living space. He has in his
memory a kill code that would disable the robots, but only Matthias, the
leader of the Resistance is able to recover it. Melina then leads Quaid to
Matthias who hides in the polluted wastland just outside the UFB. Cohaagen and
his men then arrive, kill Matthias and reveal that there is no kill code and
that the false memory was a motivator for him to locate the leader of the
Resistance. Cohaagen orders Quaid's memory to be restored while he loads the
Fall with his robot army. Quaid escapes before the procedure can start, a
fight in the Fall ensues where Cohaagen is killed and the robots are destroyed.

In China, Newt Scamander helps a Qilin give birth, but Grindelwald's cronies
kill the mother and take the newborn creature. As the mother is dying, Newt
discovers the Qilin had twins, and rescues the second fawn. Grindelwald then
sacrifices the Qilin to look into the future. As the Dumbledore cannot fight
Grindelwald due to their blood oath,
he recruits Newt, his brother Theseus, charms teacher Lally Hicks, Yusuf Kama,
Jacob and Bunty, Newt's assistant. Yusuf pretends to join forces with
Grindelwald, and the other go to Berlin, where they witness Grindelwald's
charges dropped due to lack of evidence by the head of the International
Confederation of Wizards (who is being pressured by Grindelwald's followers).
Grindelwald then announces his candidacy to the office of Supreme Mugwump, and
the ICW believes that losing the election will erode Grindelwald's support.
Theseus is arrested under false pretenses, and while Newt rescues him from a
secret prison, Jacob and Lally foil an attempt to assassinate another
candidate. Grindelwald also sends Credence to assassinate Dumbledore, but he
fails, and Dumbledore reveals that Credence is the son of his younger brother
Aberforth; Credence then starts to question his loyalty to Grindelwald. The
election of the Supreme Mugwump is held in Buthan, and the winner is
traditionally chosen by a Qilin, who has the ability to read into the hearts
of the people and bow in front of truly good persons. Grindelwald reanimates
his dead Qilin to ensure it will select him, and all the leaders of the
Wizarding world converge to Buthan. Dumbledore's team defeat Grindelwald's
henchmen who, knowing they have a live Qilin, attempt to take it from them.
In the meanwhile Newt walks up the stairs to the temple where the ceremony
takes place, but arrives too late and Grindelwald is chosen. He immediately
declares war on the Muggles. Credence, Newt and Queenie however expose his
plot, and Bunty produces the surviving Qilin who first chooses Dumbledore. The
latter refuses, so it chooses another candidate. Grindelwald then tries to
kill Credence, but Dumbledore protects his nephew, and the fight between the
two wizards somehow breaks the Blood Oath; Grindelwald flees. Later, Jacob and
Queenie finally get married.

The Young Man is told by his fiancee that she would marry him when he has
become a successful businessman. He accidentally gets the money from a wallet
he was trying to return to its owner, and with that money he buys
from a crook furniture that is on the pavement with the intent to resell it
for a profit, unaware that it belongs to a family that is about to move and is
waiting for the moving cart. He gets a cheap horse-pulled cart, and starts
loading the furniture, helped by the family that believes him to be the moving
man. He then leaves, very slowly as the horse is not fast. After a while, he
finds himself in the middle of the yearly police parade, accidentally catches
the bomb thrown by an anarchist and throws it away. After the explosion, he is
chased by the police across the city, always hiding, but always found again.
He eventually manages to lock up the whole police force into the police
station and comes out disguised as a policeman. His fiancee arrives just at
that moment and is disappointed that her man is only a policeman. In despair,
he gives himself up to the police.

Five years after the Ghostbusters have saved New York, they are out of
business because they have been sued for damage to the city. When Dana's child
is the victim of a paranormal event, she asks the former Ghostbusters to
investigate. They find a river of slime in the old underground tunnels, and
the substance seems to react to human emotions. They are sued again after the
investigation for drilling a hole in the middle of 1st Avenue, but as ghosts
appear during the trial, the judge has to admit that ghosts exist. The
Ghostbusters are back in business. In the meanwhile, Dana works at restoring
paintings in the museum, where her boss Janosz is being manipulated by the
ghost of Vigo, an Carpathian ruler from the 16th century, through the painting
of the man. Vigo commands Janosz to bring him Dana's baby so that he can be
corporeal again and rule the world. When the Ghostbusters discover that a
major event is going to happen, they try to warn the mayor, but are sent to a
psychiatric hospital by his assistant, and Dana's baby is kidnapped by a
ghost nanny. When the museum is getting covered in slime and ghosts wreak
havoc in the city, the Ghostbusters are asked for their help, but they cannot
break the layer of slime around the museum, which is reinforced by all the
negative emotion in the city. They need a symbol of hope for the population,
so they slime the Statue of Liberty and animate it with music. With it and
with the positive emotion from the city's population, they manage to enter the
museum, save the baby and defeat Vigo.

Holmes is asked by a famous Russian ballet dancer to become the father of her
child, but Holmes wiggles out of it by hinting that he is in a relationship
with Watson (who is not happy about what such a rumor could do to his
reputation). Soon after a cabby brings a young woman whom he had found in the
river. She has lost her memory, but Holmes manages to learn that her name is
Gabrielle, the Belgian wife of a mining engineer who had gone to Scotland for
his work and has ceased to give news three weeks ago. Holmes, Watson and
Gabrielle investigate the address where Gabrielle was sending her letters to
her husband, discover it is an abandoned shop, but find a letter from
Mycroft. At his club, the latter commands his brother to cease investigating
the case. The trio therefore goes to Scotland and discovers that something
strange is happening in a castle near Loch Ness. They also discover the
dead engineer being buried in a nameless grave. One evening, Holmes is
summoned to the castle, where Mycroft explains that the engineer was working
on an air pump used in a prototype submersible, and died in an accident. The
same evening, Queen Victoria visits the place to see the submarine, but she
disapproves of the notion of attacking unseen from under water, and puts a
stop to the project. Mycroft also tells Sherlock that the real Gabrielle had
been murdered three weeks earlier, and that the young woman is actually an
Prussian spy. Upon his return, Sherlock understands she uses her umbrella to
send Morse code messages to a group of German sailors disguised as monks, and
tricks them into stealing the sabotaged submarine, killing them in the
process. The spy is then arrested and exchanged for a British spy. Some months
later, Sherlock is very affected when he learns from Mycroft that she was
arrested as a spy in Japan and executed.
