Genres & Description

Action War

6.6 / 10

In the midst of World War II, the battle below the seas rages. The Nazis have the upper edge as the Allies are unable to crack their war codes. That is, until a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, and the Allies realize this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'. But masquerading as Nazis and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems. The action really begins when they get stranded on the U-boat.

American boys stolen enigma, that's helps alot , but the code has been cracked by polish and british engineers. You can read guys about Henryk Zygalski, Marian Rejewski and Jerzy Różycki. - @Friday, May 5, 2017 1:53 PM

It's a very enjoyable action/thriller/war film, but don't expect a true story about WWII. Sad how American war films almost always seem to bend the truth into a tight not just to make audiences feel good. If you want a much more authentic WWII sub-film, watch Das Boot. - @Thursday, May 5, 2016 12:26 AM

If everyone is to get mad at something get mad at Hollywood. Not the veterans of the United states, Of course they knew they didn't capture the enigma codes? This is Hollywood, so don't get angry at the United states servicemen. They didn't direct this movie. This is just business. we all know who decoded the enigma codes and if anyone is expecting to learn history from Hollywood movies then please, look else where. - @Wednesday, December 2, 2015 8:16 AM

Nathaniel Postwar

For all those stating that the film is inaccurate, consider this: The United States Navy captured the enigma machine and codebooks of the U-505 during the Second World War. The end credits of U-571 acknowledge the Royal Navy's role in capturing the majority of enigma machines during the war. - @Saturday, November 21, 2015 2:35 PM

Stop complaining about how the americans stole the credit, no they didnt. The film never said anything like "based on a true story". Its made for entertaiment, so just enjoy the movie. At the end they did give credit all the subs who actualy captured an engima machine though. - @Thursday, May 21, 2015 8:44 PM

This film is actually great. It won't compare with most of the Russian films, or films without a good story and acting. This is the case when the trailer is as interesting and impressive, as a film. I recommend this film, despite the some history mistakes or other, because it is a really good movie about WW2, especially for people who likes the naval theme. - @Sunday, May 10, 2015 9:19 PM

Everything I dislike about the US feels summarised in this film. How the fuck can a film like this be successful? Inaccurate, bullshit and full of cliches. Even minus the history it's a shithouse film. - @Wednesday, March 4, 2015 7:18 AM

Even when Bletchley Park began to decipher encrypted Nazi messages, the U-boat version of Enigma proved much more difficult. Not until 1943, after British sailors drowned trying to recover an Enigma machine, were U-boat codes broken on a regular basis. It wasn't an easy chase on October 30, 1942. HMS Petard and three other British destroyers were pursuing a Nazi sub in the Mediterranean Sea, not far from the Egyptian shore. U-559 was proving why U-boats were so dangerous. She was elusive. The chase lasted 16 hours before U-559's commander decided to scuttle his damaged ship about 70 miles north of the Nile Delta. (Follow this link to a map where U-559 went down. Look in the lower right-hand corner.) Demonstrating courage that is hard to comprehend, three young men swam from Petard to U-559. Lt. Tony Fasson, Able Seaman Colin Grazier, and Canteen Assistant Tommy Brown descend into the sinking submarine. They wanted to retrieve the Enigma machine. They could not remove U-559's Enigma from its mount. But with Brown at the top of the stairs, water streaming into the stricken vessel, Fasson and Grazier quickly passed the "Wetterkurzschlüssel" (short signal weather code) and the "Kurzsignalheft" (short signal code book) up to Brown who threw them into his whaleboat. With death by drowning a near certainty if they didn't immediately leave the ship, Fasson and Grazier continued to gather Enigma documents, keypads and codes. Brown threw it all into the skiff. Barely a blink of an eye after Brown had the priceless Nazi codes on his whaleboat, U-559 went to the bottom, 70 miles from Port Said. Fasson and Grazier went down with her. Tommy Brown, the Canteen Assistant, turned over one of the most important finds of WWII. He was 16 years old. Wanting to fight for his country, he had lied about his age. Fasson and Grazier received Britain's second-highest honor for bravery, the George Cross. Brown received the George Medal. Two years later Brown was also dead. He died trying to rescue his two sisters from their burning slum tenement. U-559's soaked Enigma machine turned out to be an even-more astounding recovery than anyone could have known. It contained the keys to the major German U-boat codes "Shark and Triton" - codes that Bletchley Park had not been able to decipher. Once Bletchley Park realized that the weather signals could be decoded with a four-rotor Enigma with the fourth wheel set on "A" (thus running in the Enigma equivalent of "idle"), they could reverse-engineer the wiring of the fourth wheel. THIS was the REAL achievement of the three valiant Englishmen. - @Saturday, February 7, 2015 4:26 PM

Man, I rarely dare to step in to the cesspool that is youtube comments but for once lets live life on the edge. It is a shame that the new modernised war films are all from American points of view because there are many great untold stories from other nations, from veterans with a very different background. US war films are by all means great, The Hurt Locker, Black Hawk Down, Jarhead... all fantastic movies and would never doubt that. However a citizen of the United States is born into a prominently patriotic culture and get to see their boys on the big screen as heroes, shedding light on to the grim reality of warfare with some kick ass story behind what is already a giant mouthful of content to digest, well that's pretty cool and I'm sure it makes you proud. For that as a Brit I'm somewhat envious as I feel our contribution is no less than the United States of America but I want to feel proud of our guys too! As should Australia and especially Poland... yes, Poland everyone sadly forgets the efforts of these dudes. In short what I'm trying to say is I would love to watch a film of some Royal Marines from merry old England fucking shit up with their gruff cockney accents doing what Brits have done since the dawn of our civilization, fight. - @Monday, February 2, 2015 2:27 AM

This is specific, the problem is it never happened, I have never watched this film but I know what it is about, I dont like Hollywood history, if you are to make a film it should have some basis in history, the capture of an Enigma machine was done my the Royal navy and mens lives were lost, airjet, the taking of Pegasis bridge was the Bucks and Royals I think and they were trained glider troops, it would not suit the American pallet, they landed metres away and lost only one man and it was over in minutes!! - @Monday, January 19, 2015 2:41 PM

I'm curious to why British filmmakers never bother making WWII movie from their perspective on how glorious they were. When the U.S makes a WWII movie all Brits jump on the bandwagon and bitch how U.S took all unnecessary battle credit. Yet all the filmmakers in Britain produce nothing but boring ass period pieces about rich snobby aristocratic people wearing expensive tailor made tuxedo and elegant dresses or anything adapted from a Shakespearian play but over looked about making their take on WWII. Seriously I really want to see a movie about British commandos capturing Pegasus Bridge during D-Day. - @Sunday, October 19, 2014 1:19 PM

This movie is total shit, the worst part is that in wikipedia, it's says that U-571 WAS NEVER CAPTURED BY THE ALLIES, fuck this movie, fuck the hollywood bullshit about america. The movie was based on U-110, so why they didn't call it U-110? why telling bullshit that something never happened? - @Sunday, March 9, 2014 12:27 AM

Its fiction the British navy found the enigma machine. The u.s did not. They didn't enter the war until much later. Obviously the Americans won the war but we Brits. got enigma ;) and that was basically the first computer. - @Monday, February 3, 2014 6:01 PM

For all you Brits out there bitching like school girls, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!! Anyone that knoes anything about the battle of the Atlantic knows the Brits and the HMS HOOD caught the first U-BOAT and Enigma machine, at the end of the "MOVIE" they acknowledge that as well. Once again at the end of the entertaining "MOVIE" credit is given to the Royal Navy. So shut up and watch some soccer! lol I know they wont like that either - @Monday, January 13, 2014 9:56 PM
