Overview
The film "Crimson Tide" is a 1995 drama that takes place after the Cold War. A breakaway Russian republic with nuclear warheads becomes a possible worldwide threat. The story centers around the USS Alabama, a U.S. submarine, which may be the only ship able to stop this potential disaster. The submarine is commanded by Captain Frank Ramsey, who signs on Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter to the crew. Hunter is a relatively inexperienced officer, but he is highly recommended. The USS Alabama is tasked with preventing a catastrophic event, and tensions rise between Ramsey and Hunter as they disagree on the best course of action. Hunter fears that the Alabama's aggressive actions will start rather than stop a disaster, leading to a potential conflict between the two officers.
