Short filmTranscript
00:00The Americans have forward-deployed a George Washington-class submarine with Polaris nuclear
00:16missiles.
00:17Unfortunately, our response is still in dry dock.
00:21He was the elite of the Russian Navy.
00:23To undertake an exercise of this scope may be, with respect, premature.
00:28There is no doubt in my mind that K-19 is ready to fulfill her mission.
00:32The pride of the high command.
00:34Sea trials begin in two weeks.
00:36The boat isn't ready.
00:37We deliver or we drown.
00:40The shield of Mother Russia.
00:43No sailors have been given such a boat as K-19.
00:47It is the finest submarine in the world.
00:50We will not fail.
00:52I just hope you pick the right man.
00:56But in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean...
00:58We're sitting on a pile of uranium.
01:00Wrap this around your private parts.
01:03He was all that stood between the superpowers.
01:06I have a contact, dead ahead.
01:07Continue the dive.
01:08300 meters is close to crush depth.
01:12I know.
01:13And total nuclear war.
01:15Captain, they fired a torpedo!
01:16Fire missile three.
01:20You nearly got us killed today.
01:22The political branch gives you the authority to approve any change of command.
01:26Based on an astonishing true story.
01:28You needlessly endangered this boat and its crew.
01:33Report!
01:34We've got a leak!
01:35The core is heating up.
01:36The mission's over.
01:36I'll tell you when the mission is over.
01:38The radiation is going to kill us all.
01:41No!
01:42Core temperature is 450 degrees and rising!
01:47K-19 has broken off radio contact.
01:52Your situation is desperate.
01:54At any moment, we could have an explosion.
01:56Hiroshima, 1.4 megatons.
02:00No captain in the Soviet Navy has ever been faced with such decisions.
02:04The fate of the boat, the crew, the fate of the world, all on the balance.
02:08I want my men off this boat.
02:11Some men pray for miracles.
02:14I would rather die than abandon my men.
02:16Heroes fight for them.
02:18Service the boat!
02:22950.
