Storyline
In the midst of World War II, the battle below the seas rages. The Nazi's have the upper edge as the Allies are unable to crack their war codes. That is, until a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, and the Allies realise this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'. But masquerading as Nazi's and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems. The action really begins when they get stranded on the U-boat. Written by Filmtwob <webmaster@filmfreak.co.za>

Seaman Ronald 'Rabbit' Parker, Torpedoman: Chief, you ever been depth-charged?
Chief Klough: Once, off Murmansk, back in World War One. One charge came so close, it rattled four teeth out of the skipper's head.
[a charge goes off overhead with a loud bang]
Chief Klough: Wasn't even close.

Trivia
In the original script, when Tank is discussing the U-571's condition he reports that the submarine has only six tonnes of fuel, which is insufficient to return them to the United States. That is why Lt. Tyler sets a course for England. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: As with the appearance of a single-engined German aircraft in the middle of the Atlantic, the German destroyer is encountered in a position far beyond the operational range of this type of ship. See more »Quotes
