Shout Factory has released a trailer for the upcoming WWII naval battle thriller Operation Seawolf, which stars Dolph Lundgren and Frank Grillo. The film tells a story of how Nazi Germany had a plan to use the last remaining U-Boats for one final mission… to attack the United States.
The real-life plan for this was called “Operation Sea Lion,” and it involved Hitler looking to invade the United Kingdom at the end of the war. Here’s the synopsis:
During the last days of World War II, Germany, desperate for any last grasp to defeat the allied powers, looked to their last remaining weapons and soldiers. The Germany Navy and the last remaining U-Boats were formed together for one desperate last mission – a mission to attack the United States Homeland, known as Operation Seawolf. Captain Hans Kessler (Dolph Lundgren), a grizzled submarine commander from both World Wars, is called into service to make one mission a success and help turn the tide of the war.
The movie was written and directed by Steven Luke, who also stars in the film alongside Hiram A. Murray, Cody Fleury, Luke Steinborn, and Andrew Stecker. I usually like watching these kinds of movies, but this looks pretty bad. It’s a shame.
Operation Seawolf in select US theaters and VOD starting October 7th, 2022.
