Full Fathom Five, a clever thriller and a screen adaptation of the best-selling novel by Bart Davis, tells the story of the race to contain a nuclear submarine that has been stolen from its moorings by Panamanian extremists, and is now ready to attack the United States. The stolen sub will go toe-to-toe with the USS Aspen in exciting naval warfare as the U.S. sub's captain is taken from his work by a secret love affair. Filmed on a low budget, Full Fathom Five nevertheless was well received for its action scenes and unique take on the typical military film.
