On the Nuclear Submarine USS Alabama One Man Has Absolute Power and One Man Will Do Anything to Stop Him.

The cold war has ended, but nuclear weapons still remain in the hands of unstable nations. Without warning, the unthinkable once again threatens to become reality when a Russian madman gains control of a nuclear command facility near Vladivostock.

The U.S. Navy is quick to react, sending the USS Alabama with a full complement of 24 nuclear missiles to the eastern Pacific. Under attack by a Russian submarine, the ship receives a series of secret and incomplete messages authorizing the Alabama to launch its deadly weaponry. This sets up a conflict between the Alabama's veteran commander, Captain Frank Ramsey, and his young and untried Executive Officer, Ron Hunter. Ramsey is ready to fire his missiles at Moscow, but Hunter, refusing to depend on an order which may have been countermanded, seizes control.

As the world faces the specter of nuclear destruction, the struggle between two men, deep beneath the dark waters of the Pacific, is about to determine its fate.
