Storyline
The story of USSR's first nuclear ballistic submarine, which suffered a malfunction in its nuclear reactor on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic in 1961. The submarine's crew, led by the unyielding Captain Alexi Vostrikov, races against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster which threatens not only the lives of his crew, but has the potential to ignite a world war between the super powers.
1958: The Soviets are building their show more first ballistic-missile-equipped nuclear submarine, and the craft seems cursed before it even touches the water.
A fire breaks out, killing two workers. Six women suffocate from fumes while applying insulation. An electrician is crushed to death by a missile-tube cover. An engineer falls between two compartments and dies.
