In Enemy Hands aka "U-Boat", is a World War II submarine film released in 2004, starring William H. Macy.
[edit] Plot
Macy stars as the COB (chief of the boat) on a fictitious USS Swordfish. While on patrol in the North Atlantic, the ship is ambushed by two U-boats. Swordfish destroys one, but is destroyed by a torpedo fired by a second boat, a fictitious U-429, which critically damages the American submarine. Eight members of the American crew escape and are held prisoner by U-429. However, the American captain had previously contracted meningitis and brought it on board. Within days, over half the German crew as well as some of the Americans contract the disease and die. Although the Germans and Americans begin to work together to keep the boat operational, another U-boat and an American destroyer threatens to overwhelm their tentative truce.
[edit] Alternate titles
- When film was shown on Armenian TV, film was named "Underwater Prison" ("Ստորջրյա բանտ") and in some TV schedules "U-429:Underwater Prison".
