The riveting drama of a Russian submarine crew that tries to avoid a nuclear meltdown during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Based on a true story. Includes director commentary, behind-the-scenes footage and more. Based on an incident that was officially suppressed for 28 years, K-19: The Widowmaker is a fine addition to the “sub-genre” of submarine thrillers. The first major American film about Russian cold war heroes, it re-creates the nightmare endured in 1961 by the crew of the Soviet nuclear submarine K-19, when an exposed reactor core nearly resulted in a nuclear catastrophe. Several crewmen died, and K-19’s captain (played by Harrison Ford) had to assert his command when near-mutiny favored his executive officer (Liam Neeson). 2002/color/138 min/PG-13/widescreen. |
