    Storyline

    Edit
    Kursk is inspired by the unforgettable true story of the K-141 Kursk, a Russian flagship nuclear-powered submarine that sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea in August 2000. As 23 sailors fought for survival aboard the disabled sub, their families desperately battled bureaucratic obstacles and impossible odds to find answers and save them.

    • Trivia
      This is one of Michael Nyqvist's final films. He died of lung cancer in June 2017, a month before shooting was finished. However, according to The Guardian, Nyqvist completed his scenes.
    • Goofs
      The submarine weapons officer states that they are carrying SS-16 missiles. SS-16 is the NATO designation for the missiles and would obviously not be used by a Russian crew.

    An engaging tale of hope and desperation
    It tells the story of 23 survivors on a Russian submarine, and how the rescue mission is handled by the government. It is a sad story, which makes it even more engaging. It is an emotional rollercoaster that takes you to a hopeful up, then a desperate down. The process is then repeated, and tears are likely to fall from viewers' eyes.
