Factual errors: When Neptune bottoms out below her collapse depth, the Captain says, "Thank God and General Dynamics." No submariner ever refers to the Groton, Connecticut shipyard as "General Dynamics" (which is the parent company) but by its original name: "Electric Boat" (formerly the Electric Boat Company, and now a division of GD) moreFAQ

I rented it with the wife one day after remembering seeing it as a child. 5.6 is about the right rating for this film. Not a failure, but not that entertaining either. Many other sub movies like Das Boat give a better feel. Heston does another great role, it is hard to name many bad films he has been it. In the end, rent something else! 5/10
