Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha go back to 1995 to begin their exploration of Tony Scott's submarine action thriller CRIMSON TIDE starring Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. Written by Michael Schiffer and Richard P. Henrick with an uncredited rewrite by Quentin Tarantino and score from Hans Zimmer who won a Grammy for its theme, the film focuses on a clash of wills between the seasoned commanding officer of a U.S. nuclear missile submarine (Hackman) and his new executive officer (Denzel), arising from conflicting interpretations of an order to launch their missiles. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.
