Watch The Atomic Submarine For Free

I love this movie so much

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Beautiful, moving film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Atomic submarine lanes near the North Pole are being invaded. A string of submariners turn to the government for help. Summoned is the U.S.S. Tiger Shark to deal with the complaints. It is finally determined that the mysterious menace is a one-eyed creature probably from outer space and it appears to have all the power and capabilities than the smartest scientists can imagine. This attacker seems to be being powered by a submerged flying saucer. The world is counting on the Tiger Shark to at least neutralize the monster and destroy the saucer guiding it. Spenser Gordon Bennet directs this B-movie horror flick that stars some familiar actors: Arthur Franz, Bob Steele, Dick Foran, Brett Halsey, Joi Lansing, Jack Muhall and Sid Melton.

I honestly didn't think this was too bad. It's most obvious weaknesses are the very poor special effects, which over and over give a very cheap, low-budget feel to the movie. Having said that, the story - while it perhaps lacked the action that modern sci-fi viewers have come to expect - was not bad. Essentially, there's a mystery involving a number of Maritime disasters that have occurred in the Arctic Ocean, and the atomic submarine Tigershark is sent to investigate. Upon its arrival, it discovers that the disasters are being caused by a flying saucer with a somewhat ridiculous looking alien on board who has plans for his species to colonize the earth. If that sounds familiar, it's probably because it's the plot for about 75% of the episodes of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea!" The Tigershark doesn't seem as advanced as the Seaview was, but you can certainly see this as a direct ancestor of that movie/TV series. The performances here were all right, if at times a little dry. The attempt to create tension between Reef and Nielson didn't work that well, primarily because I just never understood the level of antipathy Reef seemed to have, the ultimate solution as the submarine faced off against the flying saucer seemed in the end a bit too simple and easy, and the last scene was a little bit too corny, quite frankly. Overall, though, this was an enjoyable enough experience. 7/10

This movie made in 1960 still follows the formula for making science fiction movies from the '50s. Submarine movies of this type were considered "acceptable" until Irwin Allen came out with the "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and upped the anti.A mysterious sinking of ships around the polar region are observed, and the US Navy dispatches their atomic submarine Tiger Shark to investigate the cause. Tiger Shark runs into an UFO underneath the polar waters. From its appearance, they nick name it "Cyclops". They soon come to a conclusion that Cyclops might be powered by magnetic force, and recharges periodically at the north pole . They set an ambush to intercept the Cyclops next time it shows up at the pole. Sure enough Cyclops shows up at the pole, and few men goes in to investigate the interior of Cyclops with a specially made bathysphere. What they find inside was more than they've expected.This movie is bit dark and has an atmosphere all its own. For this reason, if you see it once, you'll never forget it. The movie is made with above average attention to detail, with decent plot and acting.I originally saw this movie one afternoon after I came back from school when I was a child. I was too juvenile to remember the movie's title, but the movie had lasting impression on me because it was little bit darker than the other sci-fi classics of the time. Since then, I wanted to see this movie but because I didn't remember its title, I couldn't find the video (I never thought that people will be able to buy movies to view on TV less than 20 years in the future at the time). Now thanks to some intrepid folks out there in the cyber space, I was reunited with this classic. The plot is original, and the production isn't so bad. I enjoyed this classic after 40 years of time. It's one of the B movie classics that stands up to viewing even today, and recommended if you love science fiction B movies from the '50s and '60s.

"The Atomic Submarine" is a good Sci/Fi film that is often overlooked. It features an excellent cast: Dick Foran, Arthur Franz, Brett Halsey and Tom Conway. The sub interiors are realistic but the exterior shots show an obvious model sub and flying saucer(that's what appeals to fans of this genre). The direction is well done, the acting first rate and the music score has some interesting electronic sounds(this was before the use of today's synthesizers). The plot is about a sub dispatched to check out some ships and a sub sinking/being blown up. The sub finds out it is a flying saucer. The alien resembles the ones on "The Simpsons". Overall, a well done film.
