"The Abyss" (アビス), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1989, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) N227

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1989 for the release of The Abyss, directed by James Cameron and distributed by 20th Century Fox in Japan.

The Abyss is a landmark science fiction film, starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn. Set in the depths of the ocean, it follows a civilian diving team recruited to assist the U.S. Navy in recovering a sunken submarine, only to encounter an otherworldly alien intelligence. Known for its groundbreaking underwater cinematography and pioneering visual effects, the film won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and remains one of Cameron’s most technically ambitious works.

The poster design emphasizes the sense of mystery and awe at the heart of the film. A deep blue composition frames a diver suspended in the abyss, while inset stills highlight the intensity of the human drama. The bold Japanese title 「アビス」 stands in vivid red beneath the large “THE ABYSS” typography, reinforcing both the spectacle and the emotional weight of Cameron’s underwater epic.
