Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe U-20 set was the original U-96 set used in Das Boot (1981). The Type U-19 of World War I and Type VIIC of World War II had similar internal dimensions.
- GoofsOn at least two occasions the captain of the U 20 gives the order to "blow ballast" when he wants to dive the submarine. This order would result in all water being blown out of the ballast tanks and should only be given to surface the boat. In order to dive a submarine one must flood the ballast tanks with water.
- Quotes
Captain Turner: They're not interested in the truth.
- Crazy creditsAdrian Topol's character name is pronounced Voegele in the German dialogue and is spelled this way in the accompanying English subtitles. However in the credits it is spelled Vogele. Correct German spelling uses either "ö" (o with an umlaut) or else "oe".

Featured review
A really good docu-drama especially for the discovery channel
People always talk about Titanic this Titanic that, it was an accident waiting to happen. People died yes on that ship where it could have been averted. The Lusitania however, was the beginning and the end for the Germans and eventually lose World War One. The sinking of the ship was a barbaric act and no doubt a sad ending for those who died. Unlike the Titanic where there wasn't enough lifeboats, Lusitania had all the safety feature that was built into after Titanic like double hull and more then enough lifeboat for the passenger, but wasn't build to stop a torpedo.
The movie itself was really good. I'm surprise that guy from Mummy was in the movie and instead of being a comic relief, gave a very serious acting in the movie where he was a victim on the ship. The other people in the movie also showed the same and for a quality we expected in a docu-drama movie, the movie more the met my expectation. The sinking was very well done and was more sad then Titanic. Thank goodness there is none of this Jack and Rose crap in it.
Otherwise, a very well made movie and one that should be a reminder about how Lusitania became a pawn in the World War.
