Fathom Harvill (Welch) is an American skydiver touring Europe with a U.S. parachute team when she's approached by Douglas Campbell (Ronald Fraser), a Scottish agent working with American intelligence. According to Campbell, a triggering mechanism for nuclear weapons has gone missing in the Mediterranean, and Douglas wants Fathom to help find it. After encountering Chinese operative Peter Merriweather (Anthony Franciosa), Fathom discovers that Campbell is actually a private eye and that she's been tricked into helping him snag some jewelry. But what's the whole truth, and whose side is Fathom supposed to be on? ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Typical Raquel Welch bounce and leer action from her heydey.
-
Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide
Raquel Welch is bubbly as Fathom, but she fails to go beyond the 'pretty girl in tight clothing' depth that was written into the role.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Those looking for a trip back to the swingin' sixties, Spanish style, may enjoy Fathom quite a bit, and those who adore the lovely Ms. Welch will have a ball.
-
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
(Welch), naturally--deserves getting prodded about by a bull while a collection of bad guys poke at her with phallic shunts.
