"Phantom" is adapted from a true story. It tells the story of the Cold War period, when the old captain Demi was tasked with driving the diesel-powered ballistic missile submarine B-67, which was about to be retired. In good shape, but we need an archaeologist to activate her") on her final voyage. Also on board were two KGB technicians, as well as a strange device. Demi was told that this was an experimental mission, and that a device called the Phantom could confuse sonar detection of the B-67, causing the enemy to mistake it for another ship. The "Phantom" experiment was successful, and the B-67 successfully escaped the US military's detection. But the KGB people suddenly defected and controlled Demi and others. It turned out that they had a second step plan: disguised as a Chinese submarine and launched nuclear missiles.

Demi: "To defeat an adversary... you must always drive the fight, be willing to do that which is never expected."
Dr. Semak: We've all read his book.
Demi: My father had ambitions for me. So did the Party. I was in a hunter-killer exercise with Markov. Command was sizing us up for bigger things, and I had so much to prove. I knew Markov would never expect me to fight in the blind, so I pulled into his wake. But I never expected him to reverse his engines, either. During the collision, I smashed my head into the gyro. When I came around, there was a fire in the forward torpedo. The men fighting it wouldn't... they wouldn't come out. They refused. So I was, um... I was forced to seal them inside. Eventually, they just let the tubes open and let the sea rush in. Better to drown than burn, I guess.
[starting to weep]
Demi: That should've been the end of our careers, but, uh... Command would not allow my father to be shamed by me. We never faced the families, we never faced ourselves. We were just quietly passed over, exiled out here so we wouldn't embarrass anybody. Command would never put something as important as the Phantom in the hands of someone like me.

Demi: We need to disable the warhead.
Alex: They can't launch without the codes.
Demi: They have the codes. I'm sure of it.
Alex: We can navigate the ship through the bilges.
Demi: Is Tyrtov with you?
Alex: He's right here.
Demi: He knows that warhead better than anybody. Can you rig a transmitter?
Yanis: Aye, captain.
Demi: Quietly. Listen, if we can rearrange the firing triggers, we should be able to create a single-point detonation. It'll still launch, but it won't start a nuclear explosion. Maybe.
Alex: Well, I can't argue with "maybe".
Tyrtov: It's possible.
Alex: This ship's full of OSNAZ. We need to get to the weapons lock-up. It'd be best to take back the boat than to test a theory.
Demi: Can you get below decks?
Sasha: We can do that.
Demi: Yeah, roger that. Get back to me.
