K-19: The Widowmaker Storyline
The story of USSR's first nuclear ballistic submarine, which suffered a malfunction in its nuclear reactor on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic in 1961. The submarine's crew, led by the unyielding Captain Alexi Vostrikov, races against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster which threatens not only the lives of his crew, but has the potential to ignite a world war between the super powers.

K-19: The Widowmaker trivia
- In real life the K-19 was under the command of Capt. 2nd rank Nikolaj Zateev. The position of executive office was held by Capt.-Lt. Vladimir Yenin.
- 'Natalia Vintilova' (qv) has the only female speaking role in the whole movie.
- The blue glow inside the nuclear reactor is known as the Cherenkov effect. In order to simulate it, the crew poured 700 2-liter bottles of Canada Dry tonic water and illuminated the reactor with Ultraviolet light. The tonic water contains quinine, which emits a bluish glow in the presence of UV light.
- The Soviet sailors who survived the events depicted in this movie heartily approved of the director's take on it, but were amused by the "Hollywoodized" elements.
- The rescue of K-19 was performed by the S-270 submarine under the command of Capt. 3rd rank Zhan Sebrilov.
K-19: The Widowmaker goofs
- FACT: The worry that the reactor might explode is flawed. Uranium as used in reactors must contain U-235 and may contain U-238 but the design is wrong to cause an explosion. A critical mass of U-235 or plutonium must be formed almost instantly for an explosion, which can't happen in a reactor.
- DATE: When Radtchenko kisses his girlfriend goodbye he tries to catch what appears to be a Soviet GAZ-66 4x4 utility truck. The production of GAZ-66 did not start until 1966, 5 years after the events of the movie take place.
- CONT: When the K-19 is preparing to leave her berth for the first time, the order "single up all lines" is given. This order means that one set of lines is removed, but the boat should remain secured to her berth with a 'single' set of lines. When the order is given, the crew removes both sets of lines, and the K-19 departs.
- CONT: When the submarine is leaving the berth, and the two captains are on the tower, the nearby flag blows away from them in the close-up shots. In the long shots, the flag (and other smoke) blows the other direction.
- CONT: Close-ups on some control consoles show new paint over layers that have been severely chipped, not something one would find on a new boat.
