U-571 is a 2000 American war film directed by Jonathan Mostow and starring Matthew McConaughey, Harvey Keitel, and Bill Paxton. The film is set during World War II and follows a group of American submariners as they undertake a dangerous mission to capture a German Enigma machine from a German U-boat.
The film begins with the crew of the American submarine USS Stingray being ordered to intercept and capture a German U-boat carrying the Enigma machine. The Enigma machine was a code-making device used by the Germans to encrypt their communications, and the Americans believed that capturing it would give them a significant advantage in the war.
As the Stingray approaches the U-boat, they discover that it has already been damaged by a British submarine and is in the process of being abandoned by its crew. The Americans decide to take advantage of this opportunity and board the U-boat, posing as a German rescue team.
As the Americans try to find and secure the Enigma machine, they face numerous challenges, including the need to repair the damaged U-boat and evade detection by the Germans. The tension and danger of the mission are heightened by the fact that the Americans are deep behind enemy lines and have no way to communicate with their own forces.
Despite these challenges, the Americans are ultimately able to find and capture the Enigma machine, allowing them to decipher German communications and gain a significant advantage in the war. The film ends with the Stingray returning to base and the crew being celebrated as heroes.
Overall, U-571 is a thrilling and action-packed war film that tells the story of a daring and risky mission undertaken by a group of brave American submariners. It showcases the bravery and determination of the men who fought in World War II and the sacrifices they made in the name of freedom and victory.

The incident most likely to have provided the inspiration for the movie, U-571, the capture of U-110 in May of 1941 by the Royal Navy, was kept so secret that the British did not even tell President Roosevelt of the capture until almost a year later. We have the same effect with all those so-called western films, which made all "we" know about the former inhabitants of North America. According to Britain's The United States' involvement in the Sub Lt. Goofy Hollywood strikes again. Something I did not like was the shooting of the British people on the lifeboat.

Given the fact that they were disabled, it seemed like a proper wartime order to give. This left the audience not knowing what had happened to his character.

Tyler attempts to deceive the destroyer into stopping its attack, by ejecting debris and a dead crew member out of a torpedo tube, faking their own destruction.

As far as substituting Americans for British in a historical situation you just need to look back to the old TV series Rat Patrol. Every movie has to get rid of some correct information. As I understood, the "milch cows" supply subs were quite a bit larger than the regular U-Boat. There was no tension or suspense to speak of, the depth-charge plumes weren't as believable as those in The Enemy Below, and the scenes in which the depth charges would all of a sudden barrage U-571 just became chaotic and incomprehensible without being scary.
The music was blasting just to try to create the tension that a quieter scene would have done much better. The movie was great, a bit of Hollywood involved in some scenes. The sound effects were great, and it's nice to see the progress digital animation has made and has yet to go.
