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 Ramsay insists that the Alabama must act aggressively, Hunter, fearing they will start rather than stop a disaster, leads a potential mutiny to stop him.

For me, I didn't fully work because there was no tension, since the submarine wasn't going to be sunk and no one was going to get shot.

_Crimson Tide_ has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. The plot is excellent, with so many suspenseful angles that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire film. Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman both deliver outstanding performances, really bringing their characters to life and immersing you even further into the story. What's even more impressive is that, even though it was made over 25 years ago, the film still feels incredibly relevant to current events.

It took nearly 30 years to finally watch this. You can see a lot of The Rock in here in style. It wraps up conveniently which is kind of disappointing. Gene Hackman is great as usual, Denzel is basically an infallible male Mary Sue and James Gandolfini stills makes me sad knowing how great of an actor he'd become.

I'm a big fan of submarine thrillers, and on the face of it - this should have been good. Gene Hackman is the experienced Captain of the USS "Alabama", sent to sea with a new Executive Officer (Denzel Washington) amidst a crisis in Russia that could result in nuclear warfare. Once on their mission, More

A mutiny thriller that delivers the goods wholesale.

Russian rebels have seized one of their government's nuclear missile bases and are threatening to attack the U.S.A. A patrolling US nuclear submarine is ordered to fire, but almost straight afterwards an incomplete counter order brings uncertai More

Probably my favourite Tony Scott film, amidst stiff competition. The acting of both Hackman and Washington, plus the fine supporting cast, is top-drawer, and Scott keeps the suspense up, the film's as tight as a drum. It's rumoured that there were plenty of script doctors, including Quentin Tarantin More
