Gangsters of the Ocean (Gangstery v okeane) is a 1991 Soviet-American-South Korean action movie directed by Stepan Puchinyan. An American cargo ship is sunk by unknown submarine near Philippines. The crew is saved by a Soviet cargo ship which is in turn hijacked by pirates, disguised as Phillipine border guards. The sailors of both crews have to make their way to freedom and find out who stands behind all these events.
