A top-secret Soviet spy satellite -- using stolen Western technology -- malfunctions and then goes into a descent that lands it near an isolated Arctic research encampment called Ice Station Zebra, belonging to the British, which starts sending out distress signals before falling silent. The atomic submarine Tigerfish, commanded by Cmdr. James Ferraday (Rock Hudson), is dispatched to save them.

Little uneventful for my liking, the fact it takes over an hour into the runtime for us to find out why they’re actually going to the station bruhhhh 😭🤣

This movie is so cunty and impeccably dressed that I did not care how by the numbers procedure it was . I guess kinda like Countdown. But the sass meter is off the charts and the aesthetic is crisp af. I would have rated it higher if it turned out to be some sort of ice monster in the end.
