Over the course of 50 years, fourty-four hundred people seemingly vanish under mysterious circumstances -- and just as mysteriously re-emerge one day, all at once. Not only have all these people returned not looking a day older than when they left, many have developed remarkable physical and psychic powers while they were gone. So what happened, and what does it mean for those who have to live with the returned? ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Computer expert Zach Burnham (Ken Smith) is a trifle nervous about his new job with a huge corporation, especially since his predecessor had disappeared without a trace after downloading some of the corporation's software. Zach soon gets an inkling as to what happened to the other guy when he stumbles upon a secret artificial-intelligence project called Prometheus, designed to create a linking universal language for every computer on earth. Should Prometheus ever reach the "tipping point," millions of electronic intelligences would merge -- thereby allowing certain sinister parties to take over the world. "The Tipping Point" first aired on September 15, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Rockne S. O'Bannon scripted this two-part TV miniseries adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel, found floating in the wake of his Jaws and The Beast. The origins of the tale's hybrid horror begin in 1972 at a secret Navy base off St. Lucia, where researchers cross a dolphin with a great white shark, creating a monster to generate fear and loathing in Vietnam. The Navy covers up the failed experiment, and 25 years later, cut to the Chase -- namely, scientist Simon Chase (Craig T. Nelson), who moves to the island to research a cancer-shark connection. Chase brings along his scientist ex-wife (Kim Cattrall), his 15-year-old son, Max (Matthew Carey), and their pet sea lion. Naturally, the "creature" resurfaces and gnaws on islanders -- with Chase soon in pursuit. Creature effects by Stan Winston. Filmed in St. Lucia, West Indies and Vancouver, British Columbia. Premiered May 17, 1998 on ABC. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
