改编自第二次世界大战真实历史的海战电影，描写英国海军苦苦追击著名的德国战舰“卑斯麦号”。导演刘易斯·吉尔伯特以颇具风格的纪录手法来处理这一场海上追逐战，在精彩的特技协助之下，两军对阵的场面激动人心，在英国出品的战争片中属上乘之作。肯尼思·莫尔、达纳·温特、凯尔·斯特帕尼克等一群英国演员表现称职。

  It's spring 1941, England is the only undefeated European nation who can stand up against Nazi Germany. But the most powerful battleship in the world, Germany's Bismarck, is faster and has more fire power than anything Britain can throw against it...and it's headed towards the North Atlantic. This juggernaut of destruction must be stopped, and Churchill himself gives the order to the Royal Navy-sink the Bismarck at any cost!
