Who remembers Ice Station Zebra The scene where the sub breaks through the ice was pretty cool While a good film and I really enjoyed it, I loved the book much more, but realised the sabotage in the book would not have translated as well on to the big screen.

I have seen the movie a dozen times but never read the book. What was different in the book?

The sabotage mainly, a different method was used to try and knock out the submarine, had a similar effect/end result as the flooding in the film in that the sub could not power it's self back to the surface and the crew were being overcome by something... read the book I've read a lot of Alistair Maclean's books and have really enjoyed them, also a lot of them have been turned into very good films over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alistair_MacLean
