You think you have problems. Survive a crippled submarine.

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2002)

How can you not enjoy a suspenseful story taken from a real crisis in the Atlantic Ocean in 1961? The K-19 is not just a submarine, but the Russians first nuclear submarine. Harrison Ford is a Russian Captain that has just replaced a popular Captain(Liam Neeson)on this virgin voyage. Ford is a by-the-book task master and is nowhere near gaining any respect from the skilled crew members. Ten men have died just preparing the K-19 before going to sea. The crew begins to worry about being on a death ship when the premiere sub springs a leak in the nuclear reactor room while on patrol near a U.S. Naval base. Not only does Ford have to get the leak fixed, but he has to avoid conflict with his own crew as well as the American's that know something is wrong. If things don't change soon, the Cold War will get a hell of a lot hotter!
