When a Soviet submarine gets stuck on a sandbar off the coast of a New England island, its commander orders his second-in-command, Lieutenant Rozanov, to get them moving again before there is an international incident.

Reactions from the web

As you may have all heard by now, Alan Arkin passed away recently. Here's an unfortunate coincidence: Carl Reiner passed away exactly 3 years before Alan. They both died on June 29th, in 2020 and this year respectively. Rest in peace, Carl and Alan.

Alan Arkin and Jonathan Winters, two great actors that made us laugh. RIP

@michaelcasey9919 30
