Not as bad as you would expect. Cold War has ended. Russia decides to get rid of a deadly bioweapon by returning it to the U.S. from which it had been stolen. Officer Hendricks (Dolph Lundgren) has been assigned to pick up the virus sample and escort it back via submarine. Terrorists hijack the sub and attempt to launch bioweapon attack on New York and Moscow. Don't forget the silly love story.

This is not your normal submarine movie. It says "U571 meets Poltergeist" on the box. Spooky submarine/horrow movie hybrid. A World War II submarine picks up survivers on what should be a routine rescue mission and the fun starts from there.

This is becoming a familiar plot: Terrorists on a nuclear submarine. A sub rescues victims of a boat disaster. Victims turn out to be terrorists intent on capturing nuclear weapons aboard the sub. Only a former SEAL (Michael Dudikoff), now a submarine consultant, can save the crew by sneaking aboard while the sub is underwater. Ugh!

There is a reason that you can buy this movie for so cheap. Bad special effects, bad sharks, some cool submarines however.

Most people feel that this is the best Submarine movie ever. I agree. There is nothing that I can add that would add to anything already said. This and "Run Silent, Run Deep" are what all submarine movies strive to be.

Funny submarine movie. Old WWII diesel submarine against the modern nuclear navy. Guess who wins? Lot's of goog actors in this one.

Pretty good 1970's disaster movie. A nuclear sub sinks off the coast after a collision with a surface ship. The Navy uses an experimental submersible to reach the sub and attempt to rescue the crew. The first submarine movie I saw. This started my love affair with submarines and submarine movies.

A technologically-superior Soviet sub is heading for the U.S. coast under the command of Marko Ramius. The U.S. thinks Ramius is planning to attack. A lone CIA analyst thinks Ramius is planning to defect, but he has only a few hours to find him and prove it, because the entire Russian naval and air commands are trying to find him, too. The hunt is on! Excellent.

I really enjoyed this movie. I like William H. Macy. A U.S. sub is heading home after months at sea, they never make it. As prisoners of war onboard a U-boat (an epidemic breaks out), and the small group of American survivors find their loyalties put to the test when they're forced to join their German captors to fight for their very lives.

Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $1.87
I can't help it, I love this movie. Bespectacled bookkeeper loves his pet fish so much that he longs to be one. The simple life of Henry the fish however, proves more exciting than mundane as he helps the US Navy sink Nazi submarines during World War II.

Dreary Dennis Hopper movie. I exected more. Unknown nuke sub conceals itself in protected waters. Sweden's government along with the U.S. must find the enemy.

Good, interesting movie. 1960's Cold War. Russia launches the K-19, a flagship nuclear submarine. Aboard this sub are C.O. Alexei Vostrikov (Ford) and popular X.O. Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson). They constantly clash, but share unwavering patriotism. When the sub's nuclear reactor begins to leak, the two men and their crew become brave countrymen and work together before all is lost.

The Land that Time Forgot. Okay, so this isn't a great movie, but it's a whole lot of fun. We have a nazi submarine taken over by survivors from a ship that they torpedoed. They find the lost island of Copernicas and run into dinosours and cavemen. The People that Time Forgot has no sub :(

Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner give amazing performances, in this little heard of war movie. I was a more than a little disapointed, putting a submarine on the cover of this video is misleading. The submarine was in this movie less then 3 minutes!

This movie was edited and retitled. The original film was much better and certainly more interesting. CDR Burt Habley gets a chance to redeem himself after a disastrous mission, but the phantom submarine that attacked before still lurks below the ocean's surface
