This movie was shot mainly aboard a real ocean liner. The Hamburg had recently been sold by its German owners to the Soviet Union. Before the Soviets took delivery of the liner, they rented it to the movie company. The liner was painted in the livery of a fictional shipping line, very similar to the livery used by the Soviet Morpasflot line, and renamed the "Britannic". Advertisements were run in British papers, soliciting extras who would take a lengthy cruise in the North Sea for free, but with the knowledge that the ship would actually seek out the worst possible weather, as the story demanded seas too rough for the lifeboats to be lowered, trapping the passengers on board.
Sir Anthony Hopkins has said that he believes this movie is highly underrated.
This movie took its inspiration from an incident which occurred in 1972, when a man claimed he had planted a bomb on-board the Queen Elizabeth 2, and demanded a ransom. Cunard were prepared to pay the ransom, but the British Government decided instead to send in soldiers of the Special Boat Service, who parachuted into the North Atlantic one thousand miles from the U.K., and boarded the Queen Elizabeth 2 to search for the device. The threat turned out to be a hoax, and the F.B.I. later caught the culprit.
The plot was re-created almost beat for beat on MacGyver (1985) season one, episode fourteen, "Countdown".
This movie was a major flop. This was partly blamed on the lack of action.
"Corrigan: Would you mind telling me why we're traveling in circles? 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: In circles, sir? Corrigan: Yeah. A little while ago the waves were coming from the front of the ship, now they're coming from the side. 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: Well, it's that kind of sea, sir. North Atlantic, you know. Corrigan: A half hour ago the sun was on the port side, now it's on the starboard - is it that kind of sun? 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: They must be checking the steering gear - just routine. Corrigan: Uh-huh. And about that explosion this morning? 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: Just blowing Number 2 Boiler, sir. Corrigan: Buddy, I am by profession a politician: the mayor of a rather large city, as a matter of fact. 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: Yes, sir? Corrigan: In my line of work you have to learn how to lie with remarkable precision. You also have to know how to recognize a lie when it bites you in the ass... and I have just been bitten. 3rd Officer Jim Hardy: I'll, uh, convey your complaint to the captain, sir."
"Mrs. Corrigan: Will you tell me the truth, if I ask you a question? Corrigan: Personal, business, or just plain silly? Mrs. Corrigan: Personal. [Corrigan nods in the affirmative] Mrs. Corrigan: Have you ever been unfaithful to me? Corrigan: You know if I chose to lie I could do so with remarkable dexterity? You know that don't you? [she nods in assent] Corrigan: Since we met... yes. [he takes her hand] Corrigan: Since we have been married, no... and if we are going to die... I rejoice in the fact that we're going to die together."
