Good old fashioned drama, based on a true story, of cold war Soviet nuclear flagship submarine K19 and the bravery of its crew when the boat keeps going wrong

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2002)

(contains minor plot spoiler) A traditional drama set aboard a new Russian sub at the height of the cold war. Harrison Ford progresses to one of his least action packed roles as the tough commander. The nuclear engine overheats and gives rise to various acts of excessive bravery and national pride. Solid performances all round without being outstanding.
