Torpilles sous l'Atlantique (1957)
Au début de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, Murrell (Robert Mitchum), alors capitaine d’un cargo commercial, est torpillé par un sous-marin allemand et perd son épouse dans le naufrage. Recueilli après avoir passé vingt-cinq jours sur un radeau, il accepte le commandement d’un destroyer car il préfère, dit-il, « être du bon côté du canon ». Son passé de « civil » inspire une certaine méfiance à ses hommes, mais l’occasion se présente bientôt pour lui de prouver ses capacités. L'ASDIC (ancêtre du sonar) détecte en effet la présence d’un sous-marin allemand. Celui-ci, commandé par Von Stolberg (Curd Jürgens), a également repéré son ennemi mais, fort habilement, Murrell se maintient toujours à la même distance afin que le signal émis par son navire passe pour un faux écho...
