K-19 : The Widowmaker (DVD)

During the Cold War, Russian captain Alexei Vostrikov takes the nuclear sub K-19 on her first patrol. But problems arise that may l ead to a meltdown that will kill all aboard, and possibly trigger nuclear war, forcing Vostrikov to choose between orders and his me n's lives. Inspired by a true story. An intense dramatisation of a long-suppressed Cold War anecdote, K-19: The Widowmaker is the first big Hollywood film to view the conflict through a Soviet periscope, casting Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson (with slight accents) as patriotic Russians.|In 1961, as NATO deploys long-range nuclear attack submarines, the Kremlin forces the Russian Navy to follow suit, whether they're ready or not.
