On a U.S. nuclear missile sub, a young First Officer stages a mutiny, to prevent his trigger happy Captain from launching his missiles, before confirming his orders to do so.
In the near future, Russian rebels have taken over one of the ICBM bases in the USSR. Alarmed by the prospect of a rebel strike, the U.S. sends the U.S.S. Alabama, a nuclear ballistic submarine, to watch over the base and retaliate in case they launch. While on patrol, the submarine is attacked and the radio systems are knocked out, but after first receiving an emergency message from HQ to launch nuclear missiles at the rebels. A second emergency message received during the battle is only partially recovered. Captain Ramsey decides to carry out the first order to launch the missiles regardless while XO Hunter wants to wait for a successful receipt of the second message once the radio systems are repaired. The conflict escalates into mutiny as Ramsey and Hunter fight for control of the Alabama's nuclear missiles.
This is a movie that shouldn't be missed. Both Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington give great performances in this great thriller. The plot grips you as soon as the movie starts, and just gets better and better. You don't know who to root for, Hackman of Washington, as they both do an excellent job of putting their concerns and views across. Both have valid points.
CRIMSON TIDE IS A JERRY BRUCKHEIMER PRODUCTION which usually assures you of a good action film. Director TONY SCOTT (TOP GUN) makes a masterful film. GENE HACKMAN and DENZEL WASHINGTON are two of the best actors of today and really make the film shine. The CIA has become involved in making war movies like BLACKHAWK DOWN for the good morale of the military. Surprisingly CRIMSON TIDE was made without military or CIA assistance. It seems the American military was squeamish about backing a film that showed a mutiny on a US warship. German General and strategist VON CLAUSEWITZ has his book ON WAR mentioned in the movie making it a more cerebral film. Hans Zimmers film score is hauntingly beautiful. In the movie there are fights and fires for the Executive Officer or XO to deal with and then an incomplete Emergency Action Message that causes the XO to lead a mutiny against the Captain and gets the top enlisted person the Chief of the Boat or COB ably played by George Dzundza to side with the XO. When the Russians and Chinese invade America in an airborne assault it will come down to nuclear missiles stopping the attack. The Chinese are arrogant enough to do it probably after the US 2004 election. Here in the west we often misunderstand the Peoples Revolutionary Army of China and think they are a bunch of well meaning boyscouts. Canada has become so peace loving that there are only 10 thousand regular force army guys to deter over a BILLION hungry Chinese and over 200 MILLION Hungry Russians. On my Canadian Forces INTELLIGENCE course we learned about the dangers of ASIA. The CRIMSON TIDE war scenario is realistic and lead me to give the film a 9 out of 10.
Behind all the macho bluster stand (or, it would appear, sit) director Tony Scott, writers Michael Schiffer and Richard P. Henrick, and producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, trying (and failing) to get all the characters to behave like grown-ups.
The Unrated Extended Version runs more than 6 minutes longer than the theatrical version. It extends the story in many scenes. a5c7b9f00b
