In the cold, dark waters off North Korea a U.S. Navy fast attack submarine meets with a mysterious disaster - it's attacked and nearly sunk by an ominous stealth submarine resulting in the deaths of the Executive Officer and the Engineering Officer. The sub's captain, Commander Burt Habley, faces a court-martial by a Naval Board of Inquiry. He's rescued from this fate when he's chosen to lead a top secret mission back to tap a North Korean underwater communications cable. Habley must protect his boat and crew from this phantom submarine while completing a successful mission. His instincts tell him they're being followed and he begins to navigate the sub away from the original mission and into open waters drawing the phantom sub away from the U.S. fleet. This puts him at odds with his new by-the-book Executive Officer who eventually, with the help of the special missions team, takes command of the submarine and navigates back on course just as they are attacked again. Validated, Habley and his crew come together to defeat this dangerous enemy before they can destroy them or the fleet.

| User ReviewLynn NWatched it 10 times. Couldn't stop watching it - finally sent it to a retired navy guy, just so I'd stop watching it so I could do things I needed to do. Top-drawer in every way - excellent acting in every role - snappy script. If I could find a criticism of this movie, it'd be maybe a previously unknown sub with stealth capabilities showing up is a little predictable - but that in no way subtracts from the experience of immersion in a military culture as different from everyday life as night and day. This movie is high on my list of all time favs. I think about it a LOT. Thanks to all the actors, producers of this movie - job well done. |
| User ReviewLeonor Pthis is a common thing in the military too many people in charge but only one to take the blame when things go bad. |

| User Reviewhazela rits a good submarine movies, its shows in any job,the most usefull is the more experience you have, than what you learn in the books, a good instinct and good judgement on what your instinct tells you.. |
| User ReviewLynn CIt was an okay submarine action movie the way they showed how people become once they got power over something, nice to see when people are thinking about all their crew members and not just to find the reason but to do it in away that everyone benefifts from. |
| User ReviewDan Bit suxed the graphics and everything was just horrible |
| User ReviewPål ØBeing an ex-submariner, I may be overly critical of submarine films. In this case, the technical errors distracted from the under-developed screenplay, causing the sub-par acting to exagerate the weak direction. |
