It is 1942 and Hitler's infamous U-boats are causing havoc in the Atlantic, sinking more than 1,000 allied ships and getting closer to the US coast everyday. The problem is that Allied Forces cannot break the German's notorious ENIGMA code. If only they could get their hands on the mysterious Enigma machine, the whole tide of the war will change. When a German U-boat is found crippled in the mid-Atlantic, the US Navy realizes it's time to pounce and capture the Enigma... but it's a race against time as they try to get to the damaged sub before a German reconnaissance mission does. Featuring spectacular special effects, awe-inspiring action and an all-star cast headlined by Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi, U-571 is the most explosive, gripping and authentic underwater war epic in years.
