Crimson Tide
“Danger runs deep.”
Director: Tony Scott
Producer: Don Simpson, Jerry Bruckheimer
Overview
After the Cold War, a breakaway Russian republic with nuclear warheads becomes a possible worldwide threat. U.S. submarine Capt. Frank Ramsey signs on a relatively green but highly recommended Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter to the USS Alabama, which may be the only ship able to stop a possible Armageddon. When Ramsey insists that the Alabama must act aggressively, Hunter, fearing they will start rather than stop a disaster, leads a potential mutiny to stop him.

A mutiny thriller that delivers the goods wholesale. Russian rebels have seized one of their government's nuclear missile bases and are threatening to attack the U.S.A.
