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.

Little ducks, there's trouble in Russia...

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Yes little ducks, that's a line from one of the opening shots of the movie when Gene Hackman who plays Captain Frank Ramsey of the USS ALABAMA nuclear missile sub is addressing the crew before they start their mission. The mission is to set sail and be on the ready to launch their nuclear payload toward Russia if worse comes to worse and the rebel force that suddenly took control of several russian subs and a russian nuke base tries to launch their missiles against America. This movie was released in 1995, had a 53 million dollar estimated budget and Tony Scott was the director. Who the heck's Tony Scott????? He was/is the brother of Ridley Scott who did a little space movie called Alien. I say was because he's no longer with us (suicide, 2012). Tony also did another fairly popular movie you might know called Top Gun, another military themed movie that made the American Navy and their fighter pilots look the badazzes that they are (again going up against the russians). In this movie you have Denzel Washington playing Lt. Commander Ron Hunter the Alabama's new XO (executive officer) who's well educated but relatively inexperienced in actual combat as compared to Gene Hackman's character Captain Frank Ramsey the old school, self made, well seasoned boats commander who's seen it all done it all. Another notable performance came from a little known actor who became America's favorite mobster hitman Tony Soprano was delivered by James Gandolfini (passed away in 2013, heart attack). Viggo Mortensen plays Lt. Peter 'weps' Ince who is in charge of weapons launch/control. He gets tugged between Denzel and Gene's characters as they fight each other for control. Control goes back and fourth between the two with Ramsey being relieved of command by Hunter then Hunter being ousted by Ramsey. It all boils down to the radio man vossler being able to fix the radio and get the vital EAM so they can find out if Ramsey was right and they should've launched or if Hunter was right and the launch called off. The more I watch this movie the more interesting the story line actually becomes to me. Think about it, you have the old captain hellbent on following his orders and launching his nukes and you have the younger officer saying wait a minute, we should check this out every way from sunday before we launch. The principal actors all deliver good performances, some of the newbies are borderline so so but still in the tollerable range. I wasn't left with a feeling of "oh my lord why did I buy this PIECE OF CR*P" . Viggo went on to do the Lord of the Rings trilogy, his career has more or less been on a low simmer since then. This dvd has captions, an on the set of clip and a making of featurette, no director commentary, the blu-ray is crisp and clean and will provide nice viewing and if you don't like my review please keep it to yourself cause I have a fragile ego. So little ducks my advice to you is get this movie and a big greasy tub of popcorn, plop down in front of the seventy inch widescreen and let Gene and Denzel take you into the amazing, fantastic world of underwater politics on a nuclear sub.

Verified Purchase

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.

A classic film. Exciting, tense, and star studded.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic film. Electrifying performances from both Washington and Hackman. A star studded supporting cast where Mortensen really stands out.

Lots of heavy themes from the nature of power, nuclear war, sacrifice, responsibility, and even racism.

The combat is top notch. Though I enjoy Red October, the combat in that film is absurd and unbelievable. The combat in this film is blood pumping and has consequences.

And the end scene is is also simple yet satisfying. This is the kind of film you watch over and over again as the years go by.

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!!!

Red Rose

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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2016

You can easily predict the outcome, but the actual end of the story is satisfying. The acting is as good as it gets and various twists and turns keep your attention. Overall a good movie is you like action drama. There is a lot of swearing but it is in context. It says 15 so I suppose standards have changed but I wouldn't watch it with a 15 year old daughter not necessarily because of the four letter words but some of the references in jokes might need explanation I would not want to be required to give.
