"Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving, dedicated submarine officer with a single-mindedpurposeto seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sank his former ship. Given a new command, Richardson drills his men to the point of mutiny as he relentlessly trains them for the battle ahead. At last, word comes of the destroyer's position, and, disobeying orders, Richardson finally confronts his foe, unaware that an even greater enemy lurks nearby...one who's been targeting him for a watery grave.

A pretty good film with solid visual effects that don't look ridiculous even after 53 years, a suspenseful atmosphere and a superb Gable-Lancaster duo, with the former outshining the latter. If only the story was a bit better. Three and a half stars.

Will Captain Ahab, in his hunt for the destroyer whale, take everyone down with him, or will the American submarine USS Nerka turn into the Bounty? It seemed like a duel between the honorable and loyal officer Burt Lancaster and Captain Gable, who at times trembles with a thirst for revenge. However, when unknown factors are identified and traps are set, Crimson Tide shifts from a clash of strong egos to the rising sun. It's a classic of the submarine genre, maintaining technical accuracy on board and using miniatures in underwater scenes, making the viewer wonder if Baron Munchausen might appear on an underwater seahorse.
