    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film shows Admiral Petrenko (Max von Sydow) as heading the public information panel: in reality it was actually headed by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
    • Goofs
      When the rescue ship "Rudnitsky" leaves port, its name is clearly visible on the hull. But the name is in the Latin alphabet. A Russian ship would have its name in Cyrillic letters. Also, the full name of the ship "Mikhail Rudnitsky" would have been used.
