When a volatile Russian nationalist and a rebel faction of the former Soviet Union Army seize control of a nuclear missile base, it triggers the greatest global emergency since the Cuban Missile Crisis. With the world on the brink of disaster, the USS Alabama sets sail, patrolling Russian waters with enough nuclear firepower to start World War III. As the crisis escalates, the unthinkable occurs: the Alabama is given an order to launch its nuclear missles. In the resulting chaos, two dedicated naval officers–the Alabama's seasoned commander, Captain Frank Ramsey, and his brilliant executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter–clash over the validity of their orders and vie for control of the sub.

Un coup d'état éclate au coeur de l'exURSS. Le sous-marin nucléaire USS Alabama reçoit l'ordre de lancer ses missiles sur la Russie, quand un message indéchiffrable interrompt la procédure. Que faire ? Une lutte sans merci s'engage alors entre le second Hunter, pacifiste, et son commandant, Ramsey, pour qui il n'y a pas à hésiter…

Culling footage from almost 20 hours of interviews with the Secretary, Morris details key moments from McNamara's career, including the 1945 bombing of Tokyo, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and President Kennedy's suggestions to the Secretary that the U.S. remove itself from Vietnam. Throughout the film, the 85-year-old McNamara expounds his philosophies on international conflict, and shows regret and pride in equal measure for, respectively, his mistakes and accomplishments.
