The Triangle

When a wealthy shipping magnate hires four specialists from different fields to investigate a string of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, a reluctant team comes together under pressure. Lead investigator Howard Thomas and his colleagues follow fragmentary evidence across oceans and old records, uncovering anomalies that hint at temporal instability. As scientific hypotheses clash with stranger possibilities, personal motives and buried histories shape choices and alliances. The show balances procedural sleuthing with escalating, high-stakes discoveries, as the team strives to trace the source of the phenomenon before the disturbances grow more dangerous and unpredictable.

Created by Bryan Singer, Rockne S. O'Bannon and Dean Devlin, The Triangle aired in 2005 as a television event that leaned into genre roots, featuring Eric Stoltz, Catherine Bell, Lou Diamond Phillips and Bruce Davison in key roles. The production brought together seasoned sci-fi creatives for a compact serialized story.

The series did not earn significant awards recognition from major institutions. It received limited attention in awards circles, remaining more of a genre entry appreciated by niche reviewers than a contender at Emmys or Golden Globes.

Though never a mainstream hit, The Triangle carved out a modest presence among fans of Bermuda Triangle mysteries and early 2000s sci-fi television. Online forums and genre retrospectives occasionally revisit its premise and set pieces, and the show is sometimes mentioned when cataloging television takes on anomalous phenomena.

Critical and audience response was mixed, reflected in modest user ratings and uneven reviews. Viewers often praised the performances and the high-concept premise, while critics pointed to pacing issues and special-effects limits. Thematically it deals with causality, time instability and the ethical costs of secrecy and power, blending scientific inquiry with supernatural suggestion and character-driven tension.
