First-time director Antonin Baudry’s big budget political action/adventure, is gorgeous and gripping, with a superb cast including Mathieu Kassovitz, Omar Sy and rising-star François Civil. Attendance was 1.5 million in France ...
On a rescue mission off Syria, submarine TITAN’s golden-eared sonar officer “Socks” first detects a wounded whale but soon suspects a sub of unknown origin. The sound eventually turns out to be “maybe” a Russian sub that later launches a nuclear missile against France - the President of France orders immediate retaliation against Russia with a nuclear strike of its own. How credible is the possible terrorist missile (masquerading as Russian)? The world is at risk of a nuclear apocalypse. Director Baudry has commented: "I remain enchanted by the music of underwater sounds".
