434 CRIMSON TIDE Part 3

Author: Steve Morris & John Rocha June 13, 2025 Duration: 1:55:03

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha bring the USS Alabama into dock as they finish off their exploration of Tony Scott's 1995 submarine action thriller CRIMSON TIDE starring Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. Written by Michael Schiffer and Richard P. Henrick (with an uncredited rewrite by Quentin Tarantino), it features a score from Hans Zimmer who won a Grammy for its theme. The film focuses on a clash of wills between the seasoned commanding officer of a U.S. nuclear missile submarine Captain Ramsey (Hackman) and his new executive officer Lt. Commander Hunter (Denzel), arising from conflicting interpretations of an order to launch their missiles. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and debate the motivations of Ramsey and Hunter in this tense and taut action thriller.

Hosted by Steve Morris and John Rocha, The Cine-Files is a weekly deep dive into the movies that matter. This isn't just a review show; it's a guided tour through the layers of a single film, examining the craft, context, and conversation surrounding it. Each episode selects one picture-whether a classic, a contemporary standout, or an overlooked gem-and unpacks its artistic themes, the historical moment it came from, and the vision of the filmmakers behind it. The discussion naturally extends to how these works echo through cinema today, drawing connections that illuminate both the past and present of the medium. For anyone who watches a movie and immediately wants to discuss the director's choices, the cultural impact, or the hidden details in the script, this podcast provides that thoughtful, engaging dialogue. Listen in for analysis that treats film with the seriousness and enthusiasm it deserves, transforming the way you see the stories on screen. The Cine-Files is built for the curious viewer who believes every great film has more to say long after the credits roll.
