Plot hole: How can they have gotten confirmation to launch the missile from Moscow if the insulation on their transmitter was damaged? If it was a separate transmitter, why not use it in some way to contact Moscow during their crisis?
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Kathryn Bigelow
Starring: Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Christian Camargo, Peter Stebbings, Roman Podhora, Sam Spruell
Factual error: Many shots of the submarine in drydock show Halifax, Nova Scotia's MacKay and MacDonald bridges in the background.
Vadim Radtchenko: Hiroshima. 1.4 megatons.
Trivia: When this film was made, many of the original, Russian crew members involved in this historic incident were very upset about the submarine crew being portrayed as drunkards. Oddly enough, one of the promotional items given out at premieres and to executives was a silver K-19 vodka flask.
Question: In the film there is a painting of a ship. Seems like a modern painting. I was wondering if anyone knows the artist of the painting?
