Thrown into a state of utter turmoil, the Navy embarked on an investigation that vaguely pointed to one officer, GMG2 Clay Hartwig (Dashiell Eaves).

A Glimpse of Hell [VHS]

Was it an accident... a case of negligence... or a deliberate act of sabotage? When the deaths of 47 sailors on an ill-fated training exercise are blamed on a single despondent crew member, the ship's hardened Captain (Caan) supports the Navy's official position in order to save face. But a skeptical Lieutenant (Leonard) with a different theory risks his own reputation - and his career - to discover the truth behind the tragedy.
