Product Description

Superstars Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman face off in the intense action-thriller CRIMSON TIDE, now on Blu-ray Disc(R). Viggo Mortensen and James Gandolfini also star as the "full-throttle tension" (LOS ANGELES TIMES) builds relentlessly in this pulse-pounding format! Amidst a global crisis, the USS ALABAMA is ordered to launch its nuclear missiles -- signaling the start of World War III! And when the sub's commander and his executive officer clash over the validity of their orders, an epic struggle for control erupts under the sea. Watch every explosive frame in spectacular 1080p, while 5.1 48 kHz, 16-bit uncompressed audio blows you away. See, hear and feel the "Tide" rage through the power of Blu-ray(TM) High Definition!

Amazon.com

You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships, Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles, or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture, and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman, each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains, and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue, which is why, for example, the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response. --Jim Emerson

Great Movie - Racial Focus Should be Ignored

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

1. I am born and raised in Alabama.
2. I took classes at the U of A and worked there for 11 years.
3. I am a lifelong Crimson Tide fan.
4. Gene Hackman and Denzel are two of my favorite actors.
5. Including in-laws we have six retired Colonels in our extended family.
This movie is excellent. Tons of drama. Conflict not only with the Russians, but between two alpha-dog officers.
All officers on-board are put in an untenable position of loyalty to their leader coupled with adherence to the Military Code.
Hackman, who served in the Navy (as a Marine), is always believable and does a good job of being a crusty, get'ur done Captain. Denzel is also a great actor. The two of them together is just good acting. Period.
I would rate this movie 5 Stars except for two things:
1. The racial issue seems far too contrived.
Almost every single older black career military man I have met told me the military was the closest thing to color-blind they have ever experienced.
The movie plot did NOT need the gratuitous racial component. It is sad to me that such a good movie would be tainted by this kind of social commentary.
There are several great YouTube videos of Denzel Washington where his message is loud and clear: race is not an issue in the USA - work hard, live right and treat others right. This lifestyle equals success.
2. The Captain punches the Executive Officer in the face.
Even with the tense situation of the movie, I just cannot see this happening. This kind of aggressive behavior has been slowly eradicated over the years, even by 1995 standards.
Great Movie...especially for an Alabama boy. Lose the racial object lesson for 5 Stars.

Rant: As a former SSBN submariner (''83 to '96, work center was in MCC--Missile Control Center), I thoroughly enjoyed this flick except for the CO character having a dog aboard the boat. It's not the fact that that would never occur, it's the fact that the CO character allowed the dog to piss on the deck without cleaning up after it. This display of Total Disrespect for the crew was maddening to me. That would never occur in the fleet. Leave it to Hollywood to mess up a decent flick.

Hackman and Washington are great Ending very predictable

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Russia is falling into civil war. A strongman is threatening to fire nuclear missiles at the United States. It responds by scrambling its armed forces included a submarine commanded by Gene Hackman as Captain Frank Ramsey, along with Lt. Commander Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington), Lt. Peter Ince (Viggo Mortensen), and Lt. Bobby Dougherty (James Gandolfini). Tony Scott did the directing along with Jerry Bruckheimer as co-director. The story focuses upon the tension over what’s going on in Russia along with the conflict between Ramsey and Hunter.

The movie has plenty of action, but it’s all the usual submarine fare. One side fires torpedoes, the other side uses countermeasures, there’s a chase, there’s flooding, etc.

The real story is about how Captain Ramsey and Commander Hunter disagree and the power struggles that ensue. Hackman and Washington are their usual intense selves.

The major problem is the ending is completely predictable.

Hidden gem

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

I saw this film when it first came out in the theaters. At the time I didn't much care for it. I just bought the BD and watched it again after over 20 years. The 20 years older me saw the nuances and the power struggle under a whole another light. The film was fantastic! Two of the best actors going head to head, with a beautifully written script, under Tony Scott's masterful direction -- this is the type of big-budget, main-stream entertainment we don't often see today.

Crimson Tide is worth a revisit. The BD's video and audio are decent, but nothing to write home about. It's definitely dated, but in a wonderful classic film sort of way.

A True Leader Wins the Hearts and Minds of their Crew

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

It was once said that Denzel Washington was the most over-rated, most over-paid actor in Hollywood. I don’t know about that but he sure is eye-candy and does have a captivating presence. But, for me, Gene Hackman is the more versatile actor, capable to bring validity to any character he is assigned. Gene Hackman steals this show. Besides Washington’s and Hackman’s star-power, in addition to an ensemble cast of note (George Dzundza, Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini, Matt Craven, Ricky Schroder, Steve Zahn, Ryan Phillippe, among others), I was expecting more from this film than a mutiny in a submarine.

Tensions arise between headstrong combat-hardened veteran Captain Frank Ramsey (Hackman) and Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter (Washington) as his new XO, who has an extensive education in military history and tactics, therefore is more analytical and cautious, but no combat experience. We have a clash of wills (and underlying bigotry) from the git-go and two different styles of command – one old school, the other new – one brute force, the other psychological. The action takes place during a period of political turmoil in the Russian Federation, in which ultranationalists threaten to launch nuclear missiles at the United States and Japan. Ramsey’s and Hunter’s conflict comes to a head over interpretations of an order to launch their missiles – Ramsey proceeds, Hunter refuses to concur.

As I was watching, I kept seeing a re-boot of “Run Silent, Run Deep” (1958, Clark Gable/Burt Lancaster) with a twist = the race card. During the Mexican standoff near the end, an analogy is made to the Lipizzaner stallions.

The critics raved when the movie was released. I preferred “Run Silent, Run Deep”, but that’s not saying “Crimson Tide” is not worth your time… because it is.

CRIMSON TIDE BLURAY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

An excellent transfer. Good clear picture (it needs to be as 95% is set on the sub), sound and subtitles. Loads of extras for those who enjoy them, all listed here on the Amazon site. I sometimes think I can watch Gene hackman do nothing and he will be mesmerising, and he is here, as the captain of "the most powerful weapon on earth" - his sub, armed with nuclear warheads. Yes we have seen it all before, but this is a prime example of how to do it. Tension, mystery, excitement, a great cast (Washington/ George DeZundza/Vigo Mortenson and many others make this one of the best "nuclear" thrillers, even if it does descend into melodrama in the final 30 mins or so. Would Hackman's character really be in command of such a weapon??? Let's not shoot horses. Just enjoy!

MUTINY UNDERWATER

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

I rated this 111 min REGION B/2 DVD as ok, I enjoyed the film although the beginning was a little slow, good acting by Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman but the story line was a little far fetched.
No nonsense combat veteran Captain Frank Ramsey (Hackman) and his newly installed first officer Ron Hunter (Washington) are caught in the middle of a global crisis. On board a nuclear submarine they're heading for Russia where radical nationalists are threatening to start World War 111. But when they receive an unverified message to launch their missiles, Ramsey and Hunter clash over the validity of the orders. With nuclear holocaust close at hand, mutiny erupts on the sub-pitting the entire crew against each other in a showdown that will decide the fate of the world

Gripping, tense war movie.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

They don't make them like they used to! For me, Crimson Tide is one of the great war movies of all time, there is no war action on screen, but only the threat of nuclear annihilation and the terror that goes with that. Brilliant performance from the two lead actors, Denzal Washington and Gene Hackman. Pulsating sound track from Hans Zimmer which syncs perfectly with the cinematography. AWESOME!!!

claustrophobic classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2008

Verified Purchase

Senior officers Gene Hackman and Denzil Washington star in a film about a mutiny on a nuclear submarine.

Hostilites between the USA and the USSR seem to have broken out again. When an incomplete order to open fire at an enemy target is received the two clash on its validy. With neither being prepared to back down, Denzil Washington leads a mutiny against his Captain knowing that the consequences of him being wrong are even more serious as his Captain being right.

Thus each of the crew is forced to take sides. As they fight for surpremacy, their submarine comes under attack from an enemy vessel. Even in this limited setting the action is fast and furious, and with a far from certain ending, there is much excitement and tension, is this highly charged claustrophobic atmosphere.

Give this a try, you will not be disappointed. So, sit back and enjoy.

Exciting stuff but don't take the characters too seriously

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

A gripping story made even more terrifying now we have a lunatic in the White House. Characterisations are weird and not particularly believable, but I guess that is meant to add to the human dimension of the movie. It's not meant to be a documentary, after all! Personally, I don't find it credible that anyone with the manifest personality defects of the captain would get within a thousand miles of commanding a nuclear sub, but then I never dreamt that the US would ever put Trump in the White House.
