In this Cold War era film, Prof. Montel (Victor Francen) and his daughter Denise (Bella Darvi) worry that the U.S. government is not capable of handling a nuclear threat. The solution is to hire ex-Navy Captain Adam Jones (Richard Widmark) to command a submarine as the means of looking for evidence that the Communists are planning to launch a nuclear missile aimed at North Korea and then blame the U.S. for the action. Special effects are impressive–especially when Jones must deal with a Communist Chinese submarine that his own submarine is no match for, and the subs run silent and deep.
