Das Boot
When the hunters become the hunted.
Created by Wolfgang Petersen
On Das Erste
A claustrophobic, psychologically intense war miniseries that traps the viewer inside a submarine with men facing constant mortal threat, balancing technical precision with the grinding dread of mutual vulnerability.
Based on an autobiographical novel by German World War II photographer Lothar-Guenther Buchheim, Das Boot follows the lives of a fearless U-Boat captain (Jurgen Prochnow) and his inexperienced crew as they patrol the Atlantic and Mediterranean in search of Allied vessels, taking turns as hunter and prey.
