U-571 (2000)
The Crew: World War II submariners played by Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, and Jon Bon Jovi hunt a sinking German sub with valuable cargo.
The Mission: U-571 is based on a real-life event: In World War II, Allied forces found and took over a submarine carrying an Enigma machine, literally the key instrument for breaking the German communication code. In reality, it was British sailors who captured it, but in the Hollywood version the Yanks get the glory. Das Boot it's not, but for explosive thrills and action adventure, U-571 delivers the goods.
