Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the era before VCRs, Howard Hughes would call the Las Vegas TV station he owned and demand they run this particular movie. Hughes so loved this film that it aired on his Las Vegas station over 100 times during his lifetime.
- GoofsIn the climactic confrontation scene, the wind is heard howling and few times actually a wind machine can be heard on the sound track. Yet the snow, actors' hair, and fur parkas remain most of the time absolutely motionless.
- Quotes

- Alternate versionsOriginally shown in theaters with an opening overture, which has been restored for the 2005 DVD release.

Featured review
Oh what happened to those saturday evenings with great films? This was one such film, a great cast, riveting from start to finish, its not totally clear as to what is really going on at "Ice Station Zebra" and the 3 chaps on the sub may or may not be who they say they are (brown, borgnine or mcgoohan). All becomes clear as you continue to watch, so dont expect me to spoil it all for you. A great "spy" type thriller with good action scenes and dialogue that fits the film. One of the 1st films which does not have a female actress anywhere in the cast, so its to be hoped no one tries to remake it....really great entertainment....catch this!
