[1] Directed by Rod Slane, who also co-written with Ami Neder, the film stars Jason Dohring, Marina Sirtis and Michael Dorn.
The movie is loosely based on the story of a town in Oklahoma that had to be moved as a result of the construction of a dam creating Lake Keystone.
As Will learns about his history and the submerged treasure, the villain, Carl Bennett (Dorn) returns from prison to collect the money he left at the bottom of the lake.
The dispute resulted in the production team removing the HD Tape masters from the safe and refusing to return them.
The standoff continued until December 2004, when a negotiated settlement was made and the master tapes were deposited with an escrow agent.
The studio determined that the cost of reshooting was too high as an alternative, so the vote was to destroy the tapes and write it down as a complete loss.
To film trivia buffs, there are a few scenes where there is no dialogue, but yet, if you look closely will see the actor's lips move (not unlike the old English-dubbed kung fu movies made in China).
