Crimson Tide

1995 · TMDB 7.2

Directed by Tony Scott

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.

Why it matters

On a nuclear submarine, a captain and his executive officer clash over a launch order, forcing a mutiny that could trigger World War III.
