Based on the Alistair MacLean novel this is an at times exciting thriller with a great cast. There are other times when it gets a little bit confusing, there does seem to be a lot of characters doing nothing.
There's a U Boat with loads of stolen gold lying somewhere underneath Bear Island, and there's a lot of dodgy suspects after it. Donald Sutherland plays Frank Lansing, an American whose father just happened to be the Captain of the U Boat. He's got great support from Vanessa Redgrave as Heddi, the doctor in the camp, Christopher Lee though is wasted and Richard Widmark is going through the motions. Decent effort though it just could've been better.
