First trailer for submarine thriller Kursk starring Matthias Schoenaerts and Colin Firth

September 8, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, a trailer has arrived online for the submarine thriller Kursk. Directed by Thomas Vinterberg, the film stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Colin Firth, Lea Seydoux, Max Von Sydow, Michael Nyqvist, August Diehl, Steven Waddington, and Matthias Schweighöfer; take a look here…

“It is the first major Russian Navy exercise since the end of the Soviet Union, but the K-141 Kursk is deemed unsinkable and its crew recognized as the best in the Northern Fleet. Among that crew is Captain-Lieutenant Mikhail Kalekov (Schoenaerts), a devoted naval officer with a loving wife (Seydoux), a child, and another on the way. He and his crew board the Kursk and descend into the Barents Sea with a sense of optimism and fraternity. Then come the explosions. Many lives are lost instantly, but Mikhail and others are safe in one of the sealed rear compartments. They have air and food to last until they are rescued, but when will help arrive? Once the sub’s seismic activity is detected, Britain, France, and Norway offer their assistance, but Russia insists it has the situation under control. Time is of the essence, but time keeps passing.”
