Overview
After the Cold War, a breakaway Russian republic with nuclear warheads becomes a possible worldwide threat. U.S. submarine Capt. Frank Ramsey signs on a relatively green but highly recommended Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter to the USS Alabama, which may be the only ship able to stop a possible Armageddon. When Ramsey insists that the Alabama must act aggressively, Hunter, fearing they will start rather than stop a disaster, leads a potential mutiny to stop him.

Primary
The film explores the complexities of military command and the immense responsibility of nuclear deterrence, presenting a balanced view of duty, obedience, and critical judgment without explicitly endorsing a particular political ideology. Its resolution emphasizes the importance of rational thought and checks within a hierarchical system to avert global catastrophe.
The movie features visible diversity in its main cast with a prominent Black actor in a co-lead role. However, the narrative primarily focuses on themes of military command and ethics, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
