An uninspired alien meets an uninspired script. Meh.
It is 1968. Ships and submarines have been disappearing above the Arctic Circle. The USS Tiger Shark is sent to investigate, and if possible destroy the culprit, with two scientists on board. The crew discovers that not all flying saucers come from outer space.
The film capitalized on the launch of the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear submarine. The DVD commentary is much more interesting than the movie.
