Barents Sea, August 12th, 2000. During a Russian naval exercise, and after suffering a serious accident, the K-141 Kursk submarine sinks with 118 crew members on board. While the few sailors who are still alive barely manage to survive, their families push for accurate information and a British officer struggles to obtain from the Russian government a permit to attempt a rescue before it is late. But general incompetence are against all their efforts.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a historical drama/thriller about a submarine disaster that occurred in August 2000. The only detected Christmas element is 'Holiday Release,' which refers to the general marketing timing (often late in the year) and has no bearing on the narrative content, setting, plot, or themes of the film itself. All narrative criteria score 'None'."
