Das Boot (US Import BLU-RAY)
US Import
Assigned to sink Allied war ships in the Atlantic, German submarine U-96 departs France and heads to sea. Joining the mission is Lt. Werner (Herbert Gröenemeyer), a journalist who's been assigned to the crew. Sighting a convoy, the Captain (Jürgen Prochnow) torpedoes three ships, and then watches as the helpless survivors drown. Spotted by the enemy, U-96 becomes involved in a desperate game of cat and mouse, resulting in a near-death episode when, forced to submerge to impossible depths, the sub breaks down on the ocean's floor. The Director's Cut includes over one hour of explosive footage not seen in the original 1981 theatrical release.
