Crimson Tide

Duh? The sub is the Alabama.

Crimson Tide

Woke up to Crimson Tide this morning – musta seen that movie more than a dozen times – just now figured out why it was called Crimson Tide.

Fine movie – Denzel Washington & Gene Hackman in starring roles.

With George Dzunda – loved him as Dummy Moore’s husband in The Butcher’s Wife – Viggo – Tony Sporano – and a few faces I recognize with no names.

IMDB describes Crimson Tide like so:

“On a U.S. nuclear missile sub, a young First Officer stages a mutiny to prevent his trigger happy Captain from launching his missiles before confirming his orders to do so.”
