Thresher is a two-part miniseries set on board the deep-sea submarine S.S. Thresher on a mission to explore the long-abandoned Rán-Beor Station, "a geothermal energy facility resting in the ocean’s unforgiving depths—silent, decayed, and waiting. As pressure mounts both literally and figuratively, the crew must battle the claustrophobia of a metal tube, the terror of lurking behemoths, and the increasing paranoia of mutinous cabin-mates."[1]
