Entertainment Reviews:
Harris, Stanley Kubrick's former producer, here came up with his own Dr Strangelove variant, muting the black humour but just as incisively diagnosing nuclear insanity.

Time Out
Harris's film is a superior psycho-drama.

TV Guide
Poitier does an excellent job in both the light and serious aspects of his role, and manages to leave a personal stamp on his scenes.

Rating: B --
Channels themes from Dr. Strangelove but leaves at port the black humor.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The ending is a real piece of work that comes out of nowhere, and even though the film is a little repetitive up to that point, it's all worth it for the titular 'incident' in the end.

Terse, serious suspense.
Uncut
Product Description:
At the peak of Cold War tensions, a U.S. naval ship discovers a Soviet submarine in the North Atlantic and proceeds to scrutinize its every move. As the crew's Captain Findlander pushes forward intensely, relations between members become strained and a battle of wits ensues. Sidney Poitier plays an unforturnate reporter who goes along to interview the captain, but instead gets more of a story than he'd wanted as the drama builds to a heightened climax. Richard Widmark is powerful and determined as the captain with shattered nerves.
