Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA "Wolf's Call' is a navy slang for active sonar alarm. That means the submarine is detected and targeted. Active sonars sound very different to the human ear based on the transmission frequency. Low frequency sonars are a very deep, like a moaning bass. Medium frequency sonars are like some synth doing an imitation of whale songs. High frequency sonars are strident and creepy like "howlings".
- GoofsThe missile targeting France was launched from the Pacific Ocean, near Kamchatka. According to the movie, it flies above Russia, then Eastern Europe. With Earth being round, it would have most certainly flown above the North Pole.

Featured review
An awesome film.
As far as I know, there has never been any French movie speaking of submarines. And if there is one in the future, it will never be as excellent as this one. Impossible. This one is the first and will remain the best, whatever other features may bring. It's proudly in the line of HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER or James B Harris BEDFORD INCIDENT, starring Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier, with also a bit of Sid Lumet's FAILSAFE. Great acting, editing, directing, with tons of details and accuracy in every domain of submarines. A riveting, breath taking movie with a very dark atmosphere and an ending that Hollywood film industry will never give us anymore. Go for it. Some errors about the casting though. I don't think that in the French Navy, atomic submarines loaded with nuceal bomb, they have in their crew some men including the likes of ""Omar Sy or Reda Kateb"; see what I mean? But who cares?
