DAS BOOT

MNet to screen dramatic war movie on January5.

On January 5 at 21h00, MNet will screen Das Boot with Jurgen Prochnow and Herbert Gronemeyer directed in 1982 by Wolfgang Petersen.

Assigned to sink Allied war ships in the Atlantic, German submarine U-96 departs France and heads to sea. Joining the mission is Lt. Werner (Herbert Gröenemeyer), a journalist who's been assigned to the crew.

Sighting a convoy, the Captain (Jürgen Prochnow) torpedoes three ships, and then watches as the helpless survivors drown. Spotted by the enemy, U-96 becomes involved in a desperate game of cat and mouse, resulting in a near-death episode when, forced to submerge to impossible depths, the sub breaks down on the ocean's floor.
