During World War II, a German U-boat was ordered to attack the British fleet. When they returned from the mission, they encountered an unprecedented crisis. "From the Bottom of the Sea" is more than three hours long, and every minute from the beginning to the end is almost consumed in the enclosed space of a German submarine. The German navy with its oily face and stubble beard is the film. main character. There is no shortage of ups and downs in its long story. Potential crises threaten the lives of officers and soldiers on the ship at any time. This seemingly powerful and icy behemoth cannot protect itself at all, and everything can only be left to fate.
