U-571
(2000)
Synopsis
U-571 is a white-knuckle World War II suspense drama about an American submarine crew's battle against time and their fears while carrying out a daring mission to capture a top-secret encrypting device from a Nazi U-boat.
See movie reviews below.
About the DVD: There's a "spotlight on location" with "I want it to be an authentic experience" Mostow, who also does commentary. The featurette "Creating and Constructing U-571" goes briefly inside the meticulous production of the full-sized submarine built for the film. In addition, there's World War II trivia to go along with the modern amenities, such as a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS sound.
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Jon Bon Jovi, Jake Weber
