If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listThe Eagle (Polish: Orzeł) is a 1959 Polish war film directed by Leonard Buczkowski. It is based on the true story of the Polish World War II submarine ORP Orzeł. Since the real Orzeł was sunk in the war, to assure authenticity her role was played by her sister ship, the ORP Sęp. The film was entered into the 1st Moscow International Film Festival.
Basically the story is freely based on the so-called 'Tallinn-episode' of the Polish submarine 'Orzel', which in Sep. 1939 entered the harbour of then still neutral Estonia to leave her commanding officer with symptoms of illness. The Estonian authorities tried to intern the sub under the pressure from the Nazi-Germany, but the 'Orzel' escaped.
Synopsis
Basé sur une histoire vraie du sous-marin polonais "Orzel" (L'Aigle): Septembre 1939, "Orzel" arrive au port neutre estonien à Tallinn. Sous la pression de l'Allemagne, les Estoniens ont interné le navire. Le commandant Grabinski décide de s'échapper en Angleterre à travers la mer Baltique, sans aucune carte qui a été confisquée et avec seulement une petite quantité de carburant à bord.Actors

The story is told from the viewpoint of Lt. Werner (Herbert Grönemeyer), who has been assigned as a war correspondent on the German submarine U-96 in October 1941. He meets its captain (Jürgen Prochnow), chief engineer (Klaus Wennemann), and the crew in a French nightclub. Thomsen (Otto Sander), another captain, gives a crude drunken speech to celebrate his Ritterkreuz award, in which he openly mocks not only Winston Churchill but implicitly Adolf Hitler as well.

"Remember the Lusitania! Avenge the Lusitania!" These are the words that inspired many young US citizens to volunteer for service during the First World War. The sinking of this great British oceangoing liner provoked outrage around the world on an unprecedented scale. On May 7, 1915, a German torpedo sent the ship to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean in just 18 minutes—its speedy descent into the depths occurring far too fast for most of those aboard to make it to the lifeboats. Of the 1,962 passengers and crew on board, 1,200 were lost, including 94 children and, crucially, 128 US civilians, many of whom were prominent figures. President Woodrow Wilson's neutral stance started to crack. All over the country there were calls for the United States to take up arms against Germany. In many ways, the Lusitania tragedy was the major turning point of the Great War, and perhaps the single greatest factor that eventually brought the USA into the war in April 1917.
