conversations.value: Hell and High Water (film): In 1953, renowned French scientist Professor Montel (Victor Francen) goes missing.\nThe authorities believe that he and four other scientists defected behind the Iron Curtain.\nMeanwhile, formerS.\nNavy submarine commander Adam Jones (Richard Widmark) arrives in Tokyo after receiving a mysterious package containing $5,000.\nJones meets Professor Montel and his colleagues, a group of scientists, businessmen, and statesmen who suspect the Communist Chinese are building a secret atomic base on an island somewhere north of Japan.\nThey must have proof, so Montel offers Jones another $45,000 if he will command an old World War II-era Japanese submarine being overhauled and follow the Chinese freighter Kiang Ching, which has been making suspicious deliveries in that area.\nJones reluctantly agrees- providing that the submarine is armed, and that he is also allowed to hire some of his former navy shipmates.\nThe day before Jones is to conduct a test dive, news arrives that the Kiang Ching has sailed.\nDespite Jones\'s protests that the submarine\'s torpedo tubes have not been inspected yet, and they are therefore too dangerous to use, there is no choice but to start out after the freighter.\nWhen Montel boards with his beautiful assistant, Professor Denise Gerard (Bella Darvi), the superstitious crewmen are upset, believing women on a ship are bad luck, but Montel insists she come along.\nOn the voyage, they are detected by a Chinese submarine.\nWhen contacted, the Chinese are not fooled by their explanation that they are on a simple scientific expedition and fire torpedoes at them without warning.\nUnable to fire back with his own torpedoes, Jones dives to the sea bottom, hoping to hide there; the Chinese follow.\nAfter several tense hours of waiting each other out, Jones finally decides to surface.\nWhen the other submarine does the same, Jones rams and sinks it.\nJones wants to turn back, but Montel points out that their contract specifies that he won\'t be paid unless Montel is satisfied.\nThey continue to follow the Kiang Ching to an island.\nJones and Montel land to investigate, but Montel is disappointed by the low radioactivity levels he detects.\nAfter a firefight with Chinese soldiers, the patrol returns to the submarine with a captive.\nThey learn the location of another island from the prisoner, a pilot named Ho-Sin.\nDuring a storm en route, Montel is injured.\nBecause he is too hurt to go ashore, Montel insists Jones take Denise in his place, since she is the only other person qualified to gather and interpret the data.\nDenise detects an extremely high level of radioactivity; then she is forced to shoot and kill a Chinese soldier who stumbles upon her.\nBack aboard the submarine, Jones is worried because he recognized an American B-29 bomber sitting on an airstrip.\nNeeding more information, they trick it out of Ho-Sin by putting the ship\'s cook Chin Lee (Wong Artarne), dressed in a Chinese uniform and beaten by Jones at Chin Lee\'s insistence, into the same room.\nFooled, the captive reveals that the plane is going to drop an atomic bomb on either Korea or Manchuria the next day, with the blame placed on the United States, but Chin Lee slips up and Ho-Sin beats him to death before Jones can intervene.\nJones decides to go ashore and watch for the bomber\'s takeoff.\nWhen he signals, the submarine will surface and try to shoot it down.\nHowever, Montel sneaks onto the island in his place.\nWhen Jones scolds Denise for not stopping the old man, she tearfully reveals that Montel is her father.\nThe plane is shot down, but it crashes on the island, detonating the atomic bomb and killing Montel.\nJones recalls that Montel had said earlier that "Each man has his own reason for living and his own price for dying".
