Entertainment Reviews:
Terse, serious suspense.
Uncut
Parallels to today's global political environment and our government's new cold war loom as large as the icebergs surrounding the USS Bedford and its Soviet prey in the North Atlantic Sea.

PopMatters
A serviceable but not very exceptional cold-war thriller.

Chicago Reader
Poitier does an excellent job in both the light and serious aspects of his role, and manages to leave a personal stamp on his scenes.

TV Guide
Harris's film is a superior psycho-drama.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
The ending is a real piece of work that comes out of nowhere, and even though the film is a little repetitive up to that point, it's all worth it for the titular 'incident' in the end.

Product Description:
At the peak of Cold War tensions, a U.S. naval ship discovers a Soviet submarine in the North Atlantic and proceeds to scrutinize its every move. As the crew's Captain Findlander pushes forward intensely, relations between members become strained and a battle of wits ensues. Sidney Poitier plays an unforturnate reporter who goes along to interview the captain, but instead gets more of a story than he'd wanted as the drama builds to a heightened climax. Richard Widmark is powerful and determined as the captain with shattered nerves.
