Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Matt Craven
1995
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.
The interplay of tension and command within a nuclear submarine presents an accurate depiction of high-stakes decision making that resonates with my background in aviation and strategic operations. Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman's performances encapsulate the essence of leadership under pressure. The technical details of submarine operations are precise and lend credibility to the unfolding drama. A commendable portrayal of protocol, leadership, and the burden of command.
