The Day of the Dolphin

Marine biologist Jake Terrell (George C. Scott) had made remarkable progress in his efforts to develop successful spoken communication with dolphins. Unfortunately, his funding had come courtesy of a secret group of ruthless powermongers--and they mean to use his two prize subjects as pawns in a dastardly assassination plot.
