Das Boot – Tension in a Submarine
The initial premise of the movie Das Boot (1981) may at first seem a bit cliché. A German U-Boat crew must go out into dangerous waters and help the Nazis fight against their enemies. Deep beneath the sea they get trapped, chased by enemies and faced with all the tension-building problems that those in a submarine might expect. Though the story may have been told in different forms, director Wolfgang Peterson certainly did it the best.
