Mr. Sohal met Ed Harris at Trafalgar Studios, London, when he was performing in Buried Child.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.


This sci-fi film was written and directed by James Cameron. The cast includes Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn. It tells the story of a civilian diving team who are drafted by a US Navy SEAL to help search for a lost US nuclear submarine. During their search in the abyss of the waters, they come across something quite unexpected. This film won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
