In Enemy Hands aka "U-Boat", is a World War II submarine film released in 2004, starring William H. Macy.
[edit] Plot
Macy stars as the COB (chief of the boat) on a fictitious USS Swordfish. While on patrol in the North Atlantic, the ship is ambushed by two U-boats. Swordfish destroys one, but the second boat, a fictitious U-429, critically damages the American submarine. Eight members of the American crew escape and are held prisoner by U-429. However, the American captain contracts meningitis and brought it on board. Within days, over half the German crew as well as some of the Americans contract the disease and die. Although the Germans and Americans begin to work together to keep the boat operational, another U-boat and an American destroyer threatens to overwhelm their tentative truce.
