Oceans presents details and facts about the journey of the ocean. The film begins on a beach and there are boys and one of them wonders what the ocean is. The scene cuts to the Galapagos where a clan of marine iguanas and horseshoe crabs wander.

Bien que les mers recouvrent plus des deux tiers de notre planète, nous connaissons mieux la surface de la lune que les fonds des océans. La Planète bleue est un étonnant voyage d'une infinie richesse dans le monde marin. Des espèces inconnues vivant à des profondeurs jamais atteintes par l'homme, en passant par la naissance des crabes, la lutte des bancs de sardines contre les prédateurs de la mer et des airs, les réunions incongrues des manchots, les jeux cruels des orques, sans oublier les ballets des dauphins ou les balades majestueuses des baleines en voie d'extinction, ce film tout public nous invite à un voyage qui rapproche le spectateur de tout âge de la nature.

Le documentaire donne la libre parole à plusieurs acteurs de la filière, et montre une variété de points de vue qui parfois se répondent les uns les autres à des points différents du globe. Des allers et retours entre l'Europe et l'Amérique sont fréquents tout au long du film, qui se termine par une arche de Noé bâtie en Australie, au large de Perth.

A fictitious scientist called Dr. Nils Hellstrom (played by Lawrence Pressman) guides viewers throughout the film. He claims, on the basis of scientific-sounding theories, that insects will ultimately win the fight for survival on planet Earth because of their adaptability and ability to reproduce rapidly, and that the human race will lose this fight largely because of excessive individualism. The film combines short clips from horror and science fiction movies with extraordinary camera sequences of butterflies, locusts, wasps, termites, ants, mayflies, other insects rarely seen before on film and insectivorous plants/insects.

En pleine savane africaine, au sud-est du Burkina Faso, à l'abri dans leur tour de plusieurs mètres de haut, les termites sont au travail… lorsqu'un drame vient bouleverser leur vie bien ordonnée. Une pluie tropicale diluvienne va inonder galeries et chambres de la termitière éventrée. Non loin de là, une colonne de terribles fourmis magnans, carnassières, se prépare à l'attaque. Elles vont profiter de la fragilité de la tour des termites pour mener un véritable assaut. Une guerre sans merci va faire rage…
