Crimson Tide (1995)

from NukeTalk Hosted by Ploughshares

Sit back, relax, and choose your second-in-command wisely for Crimson Tide, Tony Scott's 1995 military thriller starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. In this episode of the Nuclear Movie Club, NukeTalk producer Rebecka Green and Ploughshares Roger L. Hale Fellow Scott Strgacich discuss Crimson Tide's submarine technicalities, the nuclear attitude of the mid-90s, and if the film's mutiny plotline(s) could happen or if they're merely a Hollywood fabrication. Deep sea drama, problematic horse metaphors, command and control, Quentin Tarantino, tiny dogs—Crimson Tide has it all.
