this movie was stealthy comfy.
And the Cap'n was fucking retarded.
Samuel Flores
Gene Hackman by a mile
In US naval protocol, even at the time the book was written and the film made, it's stated a partially intercepted order completely invalidates the previous one with regards to nuclear launch.
Hackman would have been violating navy protocol by continuing on despite a garbled message
This movie was made about a non-issue. US strategic protocol has thought of literally every scenario.
John Williams
THE RUSSIANS

uh?
Hudson Adams
They deserved to get nuked. Plus it was just Vladivostok they targeted. No one cares about that backwater.
Daniel Watson
Hunter / Denzel Washington was wrong.
In an organization, especially the military, you don't get to decide which orders you are going to follow; and you certainly don't get to have a mutiny because you don't like the fact that you're in charge.
They had a properly formatted and validated attack order. They have a job to do; and it got all fucked up because Hunter decided he knew better than everyone else in the chain of command what was happening.
In fact, I think Hunter could be a millennial he's so fucked up in the head.
Asher Bennett
was the underwater combat realistic? I was under the impression that Torpedoes float and are meant to hit surface vessels.
John Baker
>he hasn't seen The Hunt for Red October
Parker Reed
He was probably listening to his rock and roll music while we were doing missile tests.
Ayden Miller
I have seen it actually but can't remember much, except being lazy about the language,the 2IC wanting a titfu and Jack Ryan boarding a Russian submarine in a fucking suit.
Carson Green
Top kek read it perfectly in Sean Connery's voice.
Mason Russell
It's so good, definitely rewatch it. But yeah, torpedoes have running depths set, they don't just run on the surface.
Funnily enough, the US navy had a major pain in WWII with their torpedoes running too low. As a result, captains set them for 0 feet of depth just to hit the bottom of hulls.
Owen Ortiz
what are some similar movies? not necessarily about submarines but about tension between two authorities about some what seems a non-issue from the outside as some user said (there was no real threat, nukes were not launched) but for them is life or death.
Ryan King
Even though I could see his point and you're rooting for him, his whole character gave me this impression of "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"
Jayden White
do they really have firearms on a sub? isn't that dangerous?
Daniel Reyes
Rush is kind of like that. Not authorities per se, but the stakes are high for them.
James Wright
I thought he was "too by the book", while the old captain was more about guts and experience.
Joseph Fisher
also can you smoke on a sub? seems weird
Carson Jones
Everything's dangerous on a nuclear sub.
Carson Taylor
bizarre they have rifles on a sub. for a lot of reasons
Austin Morgan
Obviously to beat the Barb's record for ballsiest landing party: en.wikipedia.org
Matthew Martinez
Put it this way, if Hackman got his way, there would be MILLIONS of dead civilians
