The Boat (1981) follows the harrowing journey of Captain Lehmann-Willenbrock (Jürgen Prochnow) and his crew aboard a lone U-boat, as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Atlantic during World War II. With the once-mighty wolfpacks diminished to a mere dozen submarines, the crew faces formidable challenges, including limited German air support, inadequate intelligence, and the relentless pursuit by British destroyers. Through extraordinary determination, exceptional seamanship, and superhuman effort, the crew manages to evade constant threats and reach a clandestine harbor in Portugal. However, their journey is far from over, as they must now devise a strategy to navigate through the heavily guarded Gibraltar Strait to reach their home port in southern France, all while the Allied Navy maintains a tight grip on the region.
