Crimson Tide

Crimson Tide

1995

Controversy boils over when Soviet rebels point nuclear weapons at the United States, and a message for the nuclear-missile sub U.S.S. Alabama gets cut off during transmission. Capt. Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) thinks he's been ordered to launch a pre-emptive strike, while Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) believes the submarine has been ordered to stand down. Will the Alabama prevent a nuclear holocaust, or start one? Unrated Extended Edition DVD included.
