Trivia:
Patrick McGoohan was filming his famous TV series "The Prisoner" (1967) at the time he appeared in this movie. In order to allow him to take time off from his TV series, the episode "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" was written in which McGoohan's character, Number Six, has his mind transferred into the body of another man. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When the torpedo room floods they pump air into the room to push out the water. After the water is mostly out they open the bulkhead to get the men out. The air pressure in the torpedo room would have made it impossible to open the bulkhead door. moreQuotes:
1st Lt. Russell Walker: It's just... none of us have ever been aboard a submarine before.Cmdr. Ferraday: Rest easy. I have.

During the height of the Cold War, in the 1960's, Hollywood produced movies that not only portrayed the USSR as the bad guys but also gave hope for a thaw in the war. Ice Station Zebra was such a movie.
The combination rescue mission and spy story makes for a good mix and Rock Hudson looks dashing as the commander of the sub sent to get to Zebra. Jim Brown is seen as a military figure like we saw in the Dirty Dozen, this time he is a Captain.
Although the plot is a bit predictable, and the Station a bit fake, the story still holds up to the end and makes the 2 1/2 hour plus movie into a "page turner".
