The Voyage of the Hunley by Edwin Palmer Hoyt

The Hunley - VHS (1999)

I saw this movie at it's premiere in the theater on board the USS Yorktown. It opens (very dramatically) with the second sinking and the death of Hunley and the second crew. The story then centers on dixon and the training of the final crew. The movie makes an effort to show the siege of the city, as well.

Opinion- Good quality, decent effects, Assante is a bit old to play a 25 year old Dixon; at least one character is a "southern" stereotype, put in for comic relief (in typical Hollywood fashion). Overall, very "made for TV-ish" - but not bad, and definitely worth seeing if you have any interest in the Hunley.
