Nerve-wracking suspense surrounds The Bedford Incident, the tale of a U.S. naval vessel on a routine NATO patrol that ends up in a freakish showdown with a Russian submarine. Richard Widmark is Capt. Eric Finlander, the maniacal commander who drives his tense crew to the brink of of nervous exhaustion. Sidney Poitier is Ben Munceford, photojournalist aboard, assigned to record a 'typical' mission. His moral indignation is put to the test by the captain's obsession with forcing the sub to the surface. Several crew members are at their breaking points as Finlander continues his prowl. Especially affected is a former German U-boat commander, now aboard the Bedford as a NATO observer, portrayed by Eric Portman.

The captain of a US naval destroyer (Richard Widmark) pursues a Russian submarine through the Arctic, ready to give the command for an atomic attack. Sidney Poitier plays the journalist along for the ride. Director James Harris, a former producer of Stanley Kubrick, presents similar themes to Kubrick's 'Dr Strangelove', very much in vogue in the Cold War due to the fear and paranoia caused by the brinkmanship of the Superpowers. Also with James MacArthur, Martin Balsam and Donald Sutherland.
