Autumn 1941: In La Rochelle, France, U96 sets off for enemy ride. In the steel belly of the submarine, 50 men crowd close to dense, among them the young Lieutenant Werner, who has come on board as a war reporter. What starts as a quiet routine company soon turns to hell after the first shell. Caught between fire and water, between fear and despair, between life and death, the U96 team experiences first-hand the destructive cruelty of the beast war. He will change them all. If they survive him…
You no longer have to lose many words about The Boat: Wolfgang Petersens dramatic film adaptation of Lothar Günther Buchheims success novel was the first true blockbuster in German cinema history. The Boot made his director an international star and his largely unknown performers into familiar faces. The Boat has been celebrated worldwide and nominated six times for the Oscar. Four years later, the six-part TV series appeared, which takes an even more detailed and unpretentious look at the crew and their experiences aboard the U96. In 1997, the Directors Cut was published in terms of cut, image and sound. Intense atmosphere and nerve-shattering tension created a milestone in German film and television history
