Event description

You and your guests (spouse, friends, other family members) are invited to join us at a free viewing of the movie “Hunter Killer.” Popcorn will be provided.

About the movie

“Hunter Killer” is a movie adaptation of the novel “Firing Point.”  1973 OSU NROTC graduate CDR George Wallace USN (ret) co-authored the book. His 22-year Navy career was entirely in the submarine service. He served on four submarines, one of which was as Commanding Officer of USS HOUSTON (SSN 713) between 1990 and 1992.

George will be at the event to introduce the movie and provide insights.

The synopsis from IMDB: A U.S. submarine, the USS Tampa Bay, vanishes while shadowing a Russian Akula-class submarine in the Arctic. Rear Admiral John Fisk sends a Virginia-class submarine, the USS Arkansas, under the command of newly-promoted and unorthodox Commander Joe Glass to investigate. At the same time, a Navy SEAL team under the command of Lieutenant Bill Beaman is sent in to discreetly observe a Russian naval base. When they arrive at the naval base, they witness defense minister Dmitri Durov conducting a coup d’etat and taking Russian President Zakarin prisoner, and swiftly realize that Durov intends to trigger a war. To gain more authenticity, the filming and production team partnered with the US Navy on virtually every aspect of Hunter Killer’s design.
