In the midst of a global crisis, the USS Alabama receives an unconfirmed order to launch its nuclear missiles -- signaling the start of Word War III. The tension quickly rises as the sub's respected commander (Gene Hackman) and his brilliant executive officer (Denzel Washington) clash over the validity of their orders ... battling each other for control of the sub. As this epic struggle rages under the sea, CRIMSON TIDE brings motion picture excitement to a new level -- and you to the edge of your seat.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Those who say this movie is realistic were obviously never in the US Navy. It's sad to see such high caliber actors in a such a ridiculously bad movie. Things that go on in this "realistic" movie NEVER happen in real life...from the dog, to the mutiny, to the "technology" (i.e. sonar and combat/weapon systems). If you can suspend disbelief as one must do with most military-related movies, it may be an enjoyable 2 hours, but your time could be spent on something better.

Suspense A war movie wich setting is under the sea in a submarine. If WWIII happened the world as we know it could have been over. When it comes to war movies I'm not always excited for it but this one gaved me suspense.

Quality Denzel, except no machoism as he takes a belt in the face from Gene Hackman, without so much as a retaliatory whimper. Great suspense with two lead actors playing two dominant, if opposite roles. If we're brutally honest, we all carry both men's characteristics and could side with either or both as they both try to save humanity from the unthinkable.
