U-571 Movie
The action takes place during the World War II. A crew of American mariners is given the top-secret assignment of penetrating into a submerged German U-Boat submarine to capture Enigma, a Nazi coding device that will allow the Allied naval forces to win the war much faster. However, they are unaware that the Germans also head for U-571 after a wrecked vessel sends out an SOS signal. As a result, nine U.S. soldiers become trapped in an enemy submarine in the middle of hostile waters with little chance of survival.
