The premise of a group of people stranded in some remote civilization for a long periodand suddenly having the opportunity to be rescuedis NOT unique to this movie.
It was done before on the twilight zoneone of the hour long episodes"on Thursday we leave for home? on That onea group of people are stranded on some asteroid or such, A very long distance from Earth. They have been there for many years and births and deaths there are common. They continually seek rescue with a makeshift transmitter outfitbut it never is responded to.
Till one dayand a rescue ship DOES arrive.
At firstEVERYONE is elatedeven the leader of the group. Everyone is looking forward to going back "home". But as a short time passesThe leader discovers that people want to go their seperate ways once they get to Earth. He does not want this.and tried to talk people into staying. He is so used to his "supreme authority position" he cannot bear it to change. he even makes an attempt to sabotage the spacecraftto prevent it from taking off, but is unsucessful. Eventually ALL decide to return to Earthexcpet the leader. He stays behindimagining all is "still as it wasthen had second thoughts as the ship departs..but is too late and left behindforever.
A similar thing happens herein this movie. After over 40 years a bunch of people living under the ocean on a sunken ship finally are able to be rescued..and the leader of those peoplea man who was mostly responsible for their survival..does not want them to leave. He even goes so faras to make sure th ship will implode on them allkilling them all instantly. -

mad genius figures ways of surviving on an underwater vessle and makes things out of octopus and is a god while taking in a few new passengers who are actually prisoners
