In this powerful, classic military drama, Rich Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving submarine officer with a single-minded purpose - to seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sunk his former ship. Richardson drills his men and first officer Jim Bledsoe (Burt Lancaster) to point of mutiny as he relentlessly trains them for the battle ahead. But when Richardson finally confronts his foe, an even greater enemy lurks nearby - one who's targeting him for a watery grave.
