Documentary detailing an ocean salvage project from the 70's. A Russian nuclear sub (K-129) sunk in the Pacific to a depth of nearly 3 miles. The U.S. detected and pinpointed the accident and wreckage pretty quickly, while the Russians had no real idea where it was. This led to a massive secret CIA project to raise the sub and glean intel that would help win the cold war. The documentary chronicles the engineering challenges and methods that were undertaken to enable this salvage. Fascinating cold war history and even more fascinating engineering problem solving.
4 stars (out of 5)
