Depth Charge is a 1960 British drama film directed by Jeremy Summers and starring Alex McCrindle, David Orr and Elliot Playfair.

The local lifeboat brings Bomb Squad officer Lieutenant Forrester on board.

The crew is taken onto the lifeboat while deckhand Jamie stays to assist Forrester defuse the bomb.

The sea is rough, and after Forrester successfully makes the bomb safe, Jamie is swept overboard.

Some of the detail lacks the ring of conviction which is otherwise generally in evidence: the vessel's pitching is sometimes and conveniently forgotten during the dismantling scenes, which are overstrung here and there in an attempt to heighten suspense; also, and not for the first time, railway scenes result in faulty observation, But in the main Depth Charge is an agreeable pocket feature of an invigorating and much-needed kind.
