'Sinking of the Lusitania: Terror at Sea' (also known as 'Lusitania: Murder on the Atlantic', and, in German: 'Der Untergang der Lusitania: Tragdie eines Luxusliners') is an English-German docu-drama produced in 2007. This 90-minute film is a dramatisation of the sinking of the 'RMS Lusitania' on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat, . The 'Lusitania' scenes were filmed with full-scale sections of the ship off the coast of South Africa while the 'U-20' scenes were filmed at Bavaria Studios in Munich using the then-newly refurbished 25-year-old U-boat set, studio model and full-size prop originally built for 'Das Boot'.
