Description
Down Periscope is a comedy film about a veteran skipper who is given the helm of a diesel-powered World War II submarine crewed by a collection of maladjusted, mistake-prone misfits. The film takes 200 years of naval tradition and throws it all overboard, resulting in hilarity.
Veteran skipper John Dodge will never be a textbook officer, but he's a brilliant seaman who's always wanted to command a nuclear submarine.
Instead, he's given the helm of the Stingray, a diesel-powered World War II sub crewed by a collection of maladjusted, mistake-prone misfits, then ordered to take on the U.S. Navy's best in a crucial war game.
Batten down the hatches for unsinkable hilarity that takes 200 years of naval tradition and throws it all overboard!
