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.
