Phantom Movie Synopsis & Plot

Ed Harris plays the captain of a Cold War Soviet missile submarine who has secretly been suffering from seizures that alter his perception of reality. Forced to leave his wife and daughter, he is rushed into a classified mission, where he is haunted by his past and challenged by a rogue KGB group (led by David Duchovny) bent on seizing control of the ship's nuclear missile. With the fate of humanity in his hands, Harris discovers he has been chosen for this mission in the belief he would fail. "Phantom" is a suspense submarine thriller about extraordinary men facing impossible choices.

MOVIE REVIEW

It's Crimson Tide, but from a Soviet perspective. Only without the accents. Perhaps learning from the mistakes of K-19: The Widowmaker, stars Ed Harris, David Duchovny and William Fichtner opt for American dialects in Phantom, a thriller about a Soviet captain who finds his boat commandeered by a KGB agent bent on starting nuclear war.
