In 1986, off the coast of North Carolina, an ageing Soviet ballistic missile submarine suffered a catastrophic accident and came within moments of melting down. This is the story of the sixty young Soviet men who fought, and sacrificed their lives, to save their submarine and illustrates how close the world came to Armageddon.
