In 1995, the red tide storm, the coup in the Soviet Union, the mutineers controlled the nuclear bomb base and threatened to attack the United States.
The U.S. side was preparing for a counter-offensive. When the attack order was issued, the submarine's communication system malfunctioned, making it impossible to determine the authenticity of the attack order.
The old captain with a Cold War mentality decided to strike first and launch a nuclear bomb. The newly promoted deputy captain, who upholds the idea of a balanced nuclear weapon, believes that the stakes are very important, and the message should be confirmed.
The film obviously reflects the struggle between the young and the old in the Clinton administration for control of military forces in the 1990s. The film ends, and the subtitle reads "Since 1996, the nuclear bomb submarine captain has no right to launch nuclear bombs under the control of the President of the United States."
However, although Clinton won the domestic struggle in his first term, he failed to control NATO's military forces in his second term, which led to the "mistaken bombing" of the Chinese embassy in 1996. Since then, the military power competition between China and the United States has kicked off. Inadvertently, it also provides a historical opportunity for China to upgrade its high-tech equipment manufacturing.
During the second term, Clinton was unable to protect himself, and was caught by the Republican Party as a "zipper door". Domestic conservatives were not used to this "star" president, which led to Clinton becoming the third "impeached" president in American history.
In the movie, Denzel Washington plays a loving father and husband in a family with two children. Washington's temperament is very suitable to play the embodiment of this strong sense of mission, firm belief, beauty and justice.
In 2012, "Cold War" written by Hong Kong directors Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing was released.
The narrative structure and main plot of "Cold War" are almost completely cosplayed in "Red Tide Storm", including the famous scene of "Double Fight" and "Salute". The relationship between the rest of the supporting characters and the plot promotion are almost the same as "Red Tide Storm".
This is also the reason why the plot of "Equator" has completely collapsed, and the originality is not enough.
Unlike Lin Chaoxian's "Operation Red Sea" who honestly copied "Black Hawk Down", even if there are more side stories, you can finally get it back.
After 20 years, the offense and defense have changed.
