Description

The story focuses on the riotous confusion created when a Russian submarine gets stuck on a New England sandbar and the landing crew goes ashore for help-only to be mistaken for an invasion force by the over-imaginative townspeople.

D (Bad).

A Soviet submarine goes aground by an offseason vacation town.

Rambling, rarely funny, and often uncomfortable to watch.
