Poe G Feb 1, 2019 Even without the intermission this is a film of two halves. A great sea faring thriller through the ice followed by a tedious pointless tale once the ice station is reached. Patrick McGoohan steals the show. See more

Harry S Oct 23, 2017 One of the best! (It's mysterious that some people loved it (including me) and some people hated it. I'm correct,of course)

Theodore G Jul 19, 2017 A steadily paced espionage thriller which feels somewhat lighter on thrills than was probably intended.

Kylo R Feb 13, 2017 Can't stand this movie for it having to be a military movie that's old-fashioned I don't like it, Plus it doesn't look interesting. I could do something better then watch this See more

Poe W Sep 30, 2007 Enthralling, suspenseful Cold War thriller. During the height of the Cold War, the US nuclear submarine USS Tigerfish, captained by Commander James Farraday, is sent on a secret mission to a location near the North Pole. Their mission, ostensibly, is to rescue survivors from Ice Station Zebra, a British weather research station, but it is quite clear that it is more than that. The presence of the shadowy, enigmatic Mr. Jones, a British civilian who has control over the mission, makes it clear that something larger is afoot. Then the submarine is sabotaged - there is clearly a Russian spy on board. Enthralling, suspenseful Cold War thriller, directed by John Sturges and based on the Alistair MacLean novel. Sturges sets the scene and builds the tension well. Some great scenes involving the operation of the submarine, which will appeal to military buffs. Quite accurate in the military aspect - great detail from Sturges. Can be a bit clumsy at times though. Some plot developments aren't entirely watertight. Interesting ending, though maybe a touch predictable. Still, overall, a good action- and tension-filled ride. See more
