Synopsis:
At the height of the Cold War, the world holds its breath when a Soviet submarine armed with nuclear missiles goes missing in the Pacific. On board the vessel, the battle-tested captain (Ed Harris) and a rogue KGB agent (David Duchovny) are waging a life-and-death game of cat and mouse. With enemy forces closing in and time running out, the captain fights to keep control with nuclear Armageddon hanging in the balance.
We like it because:
Featuring a riveting lead performance from Academy Award-nominated Ed Harris alongside a stellar cast which includes a powerful turn from David Duchovny, “Phantom” is an intense, claustrophobic submarine thriller. Writer-Director Todd Robinson delivers a truly stark and poignant story which is made ever the more captivating from the real-life events it is inspired by.
