A gripping, impressively detailed account of one harrowing voyage by a German U-boat during World War II.
Full reviewWolfgang Petersen's 1981 war epic, set within the claustrophobic confines of a WW2 submarine, considered one of the greatest German films of all time. Led by their captain (Jurgen Prochnow), an inexperienced crew patrol the North Atlantic in search of Allied vessels...
"The story of young men, hungry for adventure, seduced by Nazi propaganda, enticed by the marvels of technology. Eagerly, they set out to challenge the brutal forces of nature, to battle an invisible enemy. They have yet to learn of the horrors of war; they know neither the loneliness nor the desperation. In the hell of submarine warfare, the alternatives are grim: you either emerge unscathed or you perish... Of the 40,000 men aboard German submarines in World War II, 30,000 did not return."
