When a Soviet submarine gets stuck on a sandbar off the coast of a New England island, its commander orders his second-in-command, Lieutenant Rozanov, to get them moving again before there is an international incident. Rozanov seeks assistance from the island locals, including the police chief and a vacationing television writer, while trying to allay their fears of a Communist invasion by claiming he and his crew are Norwegian sailors.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming Cold War farce that finds warmth and absurdity in the collision between fearful American islanders and resourceful Soviet sailors trying to keep an international incident from spiraling. It's a comedy built on mounting misunderstandings that humanizes both sides of an ideological divide.
