A WWII action film, Torpedo (aka U-235) centres on a team of Belgian resistance-fighters. Their mission: to travel from the Belgian Congo to New York, takeover a German submarine and smuggle uranium needed for the Manhattan Project.

The film was produced by A-Team Productions (Belgium) in co-production with Column Film (Netherlands), 10.80 Films (Belgium) and Pellikola (Malta).
