Sex on legs Denzel Washington joins Hollywood favourite Gene Hackman along with Viggo Mortensen and James Gandolfini in this intense action thriller that's a smash hit with audiences and critics alike.
In the midst of a global crisis, the USS Alabama receives an unconfirmed order to launch its nuclear missiles -- signalling the start of Word War III. The tension quickly rises as the sub's respected commander (Hackman) and his brilliant executive officer (Washington) clash over the validity of their orders ... battling each other for control of the sub.
As this epic struggle rages under the sea, Crimson Tide brings motion picture excitement to a new level - and you to the edge of your seat. It’s all about trembling hands clutching nuclear bombing codes, sweating crew members on the high seas, and clocks counting the world’s final moments.
Washington, according to one critic, acts with a soft-centred steeliness, where Hackman speaks harshly with a big stick. And as usual, he chuckles his way through evil, so that you fear him and like him, all at once. Free on e.
