World War II: Resistance fighters accept a suicide mission to deliver a stolen Nazi submarine carrying atomic uranium. Hunted by Hitler’s army, the crew must outwit the German Navy to bring the cargo safely to America.
With the race to develop the atom bomb at it's most competitive, it falls on "Stan" (Koen De Bouw) and his disparate crew of Dutch resistance fighters to pilot a submarine full of uranium to the Americans. Needless to say, the Nazis are none too keen on this cunning plan and so have their navy on full alert. Can "Capt. Stan" keep his crew of "individuals" under control; manage his feisty daughter (Ella-June Henrard) and her boyfriend (Joren Seldeslachts) and still manage to evade their pursuing, menacing and well equipped foe? The premiss of the story is actually quite interesting, but the execution is little short of woeful. The CGI effects are basic and do their job, but the the plot quickly becomes preposterous and the acting and dialogue are the stuff of a college project. The submarine is subjected to explosions, deep water pressure and the odd crew tantrum - and all of these scenarios vie shamelessly to be the most ridiculous. There is one scene where our hero swims out through a hole in the boat, at great depth, then sneaks in through a torpedo tube so he can rescue someone ... Hmmm!? Anyway, this is just one of those dead in the water television movies that needed about nine producers to raise what funding it needed to present us with a rather silly maritime thriller that I cannot really recommend - even to the most ardent of submarine action film fans.

Inspired by the real-life German special operations unit KG 200 that shot down, repaired, and flew Allied aircraft as Trojan horses, "Wolf Hound" takes place in 1944 German-occupied France and follows the daring exploits of Jewish-American fighter pilot Captain David Holden. Ambushed behind enemy lines, Holden must rescue a captured B-17 Flying Fortress crew, evade a ruthless enemy stalking him at every turn, and foil a plot that could completely alter the outcome of World War II.
An elite squad of Navy SEALs, on a covert mission to transport a prisoner off a CIA black site island prison, are trapped when insurgents attack while trying to rescue the same prisoner.
April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.
It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.
