Description
An American destroyer discovers a German U-boat heading to some secret European destination, and what follows is a battle of wits between the American captain (who is thought by some initially to be an inadequate skipper) and the German captain, who is a willing German leader, though he has some opposition to the Nazi cause. Never seeing one another during the battle, each captain has to anticipate the next move of his opposition, in a deadly battle. A strong psychological drama where the grasp of exactly what the opponent may do determines whether they live or die.
