The Hunt for the Red October: The True Story
The Hunt for Red October, starring Sir Sean Connery, tells the seemingly-incredible story of a Russian submarine captain who attempts to defect to the West. In fact, the Tom Clancy blockbuster on which the film is based, was inspired by an extraordinary real-life incident during the Cold War.
The True Story recreates that thrilling real story, in which idealistic political officer Valery Sablin started a 1975 mutiny on The Storozhevoy, or Sentry, one of the Soviet Union's state of the art Krivak class destroyers. He and his crew headed out into the Baltic Sea in a bid to start a second people's revolution. Terrified that Sablin was defecting to the West with a ship full of secrets, the Brezhnev regime mobilized Air Force bombers and Navy warships to try to stop it in.
Using interviews with sailors and officers on the ship and her Soviet military pursuers, we investigate this amazing high-stakes chase across the Baltic, culminating in an air attack. We also reveal the actual radar footage of the incident, which was recorded on Swedish radar but kept secret for many years.
