The Dolphin's Cry (Russian: Крик дельфина, translit. Krik delfina) is 1986 Soviet science fiction film directed by Alexey Saltykov, based on the book by Nikolai Cherkashin "The Mystery of Archelon" "("The Dolphin's Cry").[1][2][3]

Plot

The crew of the latest American strategic missile "Archelon" is struck by an unknown virus. The command must decide on removing the submarine from combat duty and sending people to quarantine. The cause of the disease is the depressurization of one of the warheads. There are no treatments and the crew is strongly advised to stay in office until the time the antidote is found.

Symptoms of the disease are similar to leprosy, and like leprosy, the disease lasts for a long time. "Archelon" as a result is on alert for about three years. The ship's psychologist has to state the fact that the sailors are affected by barely restrained unmotivated aggression. With every passing day it becomes more difficult for the captain to preserve at least the appearance of order. He can not withstand the prolonged torture of this strange disease; he fakes the destruction of the boat and gives the order to sink the passing counter vessels, having previously sent aborted teams aboard them. In the end, he decides to destroy the whole mankind and release rockets equipped with the virus. At the last moment, the captain changes his mind and sends the boat into a vertical dive to the bottom of the ocean.
