A top-secret Soviet spy satellite — using stolen Western technology — malfunctions and then goes into a descent that lands it near an isolated Arctic research encampment called Ice Station Zebra, belonging to the British, which starts sending out distress signals before falling silent. The atomic submarine Tigerfish, commanded by Cmdr. James Ferraday (Rock Hudson), is dispatched with orders to get to Ice Station Zebra carrying three passengers, a Englishman going by the name of David Jones (Patrick McGoohan), a Soviet turncoat named Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine), and an American Marine officer, Captain Anders (Jim Brown), who is supposed to command the Marine unit assigned to the mission. Jones is problem enough, as he is in command of the mission and he prefers to withhold as much information as it's possible to do from Ferraday, even at the risk of the Tigerfish's safety. Add to that the fact that Anders is suspicious of Vaslov, and Vaslov seems much too inquisitive and is telling even less of what he knows about the mission, and Ferraday has his hands full trying to get these men to the polar ice — 600 miles of dangerous travel — in just two days. When an attempt to break through the ice — coupled with some timely sabotage — kills one man and nearly destroys the boat, the men surrounding these contending parties start to understand just how high the stakes are for everyone. It turns out that the Soviets want what was aboard that satellite as much as the West does; indeed, both sides are frantic to get it, and, just as much, to keep the other side from getting it — and they're prepared to take it by brute force. Once Ferraday and his men arrive at Zebra, they find a disaster and still more mystery, with most of the men dead and the object that Mr. Jones is supposed to secure nowhere in evidence, and he and his two fellow men of mystery suddenly showing their killing instincts quite freely. And with the storm clearing from the Soviet side first, their planes and their paratroops are closing in on Ferraday, and his relative handful of men.
Sharp dialogue, special effects that hold up fairly well, and a witty, wryly humorous performance by Patrick McGoohan show that Howard Hughes wasn't totally crazy sitting in that Las Vegas hotel room (obsessively watching this, his purported all-time favorite film). Rock Hudson may be the lead, but McGoohan is the real star. His verbal tangles with Hudson over the nature of their secret mission sparkle and give the film most of its fun. McGoohan's portrayal of a somewhat sordid spy who wants to say nothing, and Hudson's as a commander who must know everything, rise above the Cold War story line and give the film an almost timeless appeal. Spare, tight performances from veteran character actors Lloyd Nolan, Gerald S. O'Loughlin, and Ted Hartley help the two leads to shine. Ernest Borgnine's cheerfully amoral Russian defector and Jim Brown's Russian-hating Marine captain mirror the macho fun with their antagonist dialogue, especially when the submarine seems about to sink. (Borgnine: "Captain, if you were to compose your epitaph right now, what would it be?" Brown: "Knock it off.") The film falters in its late section, going with some cheesy special effects — including Russian planes that are obviously toy-size miniatures, and an indoor polar landscape set — and the score is redundant at points, but Zebra is a worthy predecessor to The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, and other modern submarine epics.
