Trivia: In real life, the K-19 was never nick-named "The Widowmaker," and its cursed history was entirely fictional, fabricated for the film. After the fact of the nuclear meltdown, the Soviet military actually nick-named the K-19 "Hiroshima," alluding to the first city ever destroyed by a nuclear weapon.

Trivia: There was never a mutiny aboard the real "K-19" as depicted in the film. In real life, the captain ordered all firearms to be thrown overboard, to avoid a mutiny.
