U-571
“Heroes are ordinary men who do extraordinary things in extraordinary times.”
In the midst of World War II, the battle under the sea rages and the Nazis have the upper hand as the Allies are unable to crack their war codes. However, after a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, the Allies realise this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~48/52, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (35% of the domestic run, typical for War) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
