After Japanese forces torpedo his submarine during World War II, commanding officer "Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is placed in charge of the USS Nerka. The crew on board the Nerka -- led by Lieutenant Jim Bledsoe (Burt Lancaster), who had been passed over for promotion when Richardson was brought in -- is openly hostile to their new commander, especially when it becomes clear that Richardson's sole obsession is finding and destroying the Japanese ship that sank his old vessel.

Watch Run Silent, Run Deep. Then watch K:19. Then complain that "They don't make 'em like they used to."

4.5/5

The terrifically tense submarine genre starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster still pings with its authentic claustrophobic setting and mano a mano standoff between captain and XO.
