When a rogue submarine carrying nuclear warheads goes missing in the vast expanse of the Pacific, the world teeters on the edge of annihilation. Lieutenant Commander Evelyn Ward (Anya Taylor-Joy), a prodigy in naval strategy, is promoted unexpectedly to lead the U.S. Navy’s elite counter-sub fleet. Paired with hardened rescue specialist Jack Rourke (Chris Hemsworth), the two must navigate hostile waters and internal conflict to prevent a global catastrophe.
But as they close in on the submerged threat, they discover the mission isn’t just about recovery—it’s about betrayal. Someone in the high command wants the sub lost for good, and Evelyn’s orders may be leading her into a trap. Jack, a man known for breaking protocol, must decide if loyalty lies with country or crew.
Tensions rise as warships clash, alliances dissolve, and deadly secrets surface beneath the waves. The ocean becomes a chessboard where one wrong move could ignite World War III—and where the enemy may not be who they think.
The Crimson Tide is a relentless maritime thriller about trust under fire, the burden of command, and what it truly takes to lead when every second counts.
