It is about disaster striking a U.S. Navy warship in the Persian Gulf, and the subsequent investigation by a commando unit.
An example of low-budget guerilla filmmaking, the movie cost a reported $350,000 and was shot in 15 days on a couple of Panasonic HVX-200 HD digital cameras. The producers secured a restored museum Liberty ship docked in Los Angeles and shot mostly at night after museum patrons had left. Luckily the ship made a trip to a WWII San Diego event, affording the producers to get "at sea" footage for free. All the guns were plastic models, so all the muzzle flashes and sound effects were laid in later. Director Roel Reine does a commentary with all this information.
In July 2008, the movie was released on DVD under the title Black Ops and was released in the United States on May 20, 2008 by First Look Studios.
