A privately-financed scientist and his colleagues hire an ex-Navy officer to conduct an Alaskan submarine expedition in order to prevent a Red Chinese anti-American plot that may lead to World War III. Mixes deviously plotted schoolboy fiction with submarine spectacle and cold war heroics.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The plot summary provides no indication that the story takes place during the Christmas season, involves Christmas themes, or features any relevant iconography. It is a Cold War action/adventure film."
