* BittersweetEnding: On one hand the Titane managed to stop Grandchamp from launching the nuclear attack and avoided World War III. On the other most of the two submarines' crews died in the mutual attacks, and Chanteraide lost his hearing due to depressurization when he was ejected from the Titane.

* ActionPrologue: The first 20 minutes of the film are dedicated to a retrieval mission that goes awry as an Iranian warship detects the Titane and the crew now must fend off their assailant.
* Adorkable: Chanteraide, who is already somewhat socially awkward sees a beautiful librarian and begins to fumbles his every line while trying to keep his cool.
* AerithAndBob: Some characters have fairly standard-looking names like “Grandchamp”, but other names such as the protagonist “Chanteraide” and his girlfriend whose actual first name is “Prairie”.
* AmericaSavesTheDay: Averted. It is stated on the radio that America is currently taking an isolationist stance and has avoided interfering in Europe where tensions with Russia have begun to rise.
* AngryGuardDog: The commando squad on the Syrian coast is chased by several soldiers helped with their dogs.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Chanteraide is an “Oreille d’Or” [[note]]"Golden Ear" in English[[/note]], one of the few technicians of the French Marine Nationale who are trained to listen to everything their subs can sense and is able to identify anything through the sound they make, their nature and their rhythm. Detecting an unknown sound at the beginning of the movie, he already identifies the source as a submarine and nails the number of blades it uses on the propeller. Moreover, the commanding and intelligence officers of the Titane are seasoned sub veterans who manage to track down the probable location and trajectory of [[spoiler: the Effroyable]] thanks to the small clues they have.
* BatmanGambit: The crew of the Titane expects the [[spoiler:Effroyable]] to adopt the most optimal vector to launch its nuclear missile as they know that [[spoiler:captain Grandchamp]] wouldn’t do any less, thus they coordinate with surface forces to force him to a location of the Titane’s choosing to better track it.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Chanteraide pieces together that the strange sound he’s detected comes from an old class of submarines named the
* TheBridge: Most of the sub action takes place in the bridge of said submarines, which are cramped busy spaces full of screens and board. It is quite a technical accomplishment to manage to film in such an environment.
* TheCaptain: Each submarine has one, the Ship Captain who commands the ships and decides what it does. Ship Captain Grandchamp is demonstrated as a cool-headed man of action who masters the subtleties of submarine warfare, trusts his men to do their job and doesn't hesitate to get his hands dirty himself.
* ChekhovsGun: During his night with Prairie, we see a seemingly innocuous shot of her smoking marijuana (illegal in France) and then kissing Chanteraide who breathes the smoke. Later a military medical test finds chemical traces of marijuana in his bloodstream and he’s deemed unfit to [[spoiler:come aboard the Effroyable]].
* ChromosomeCasting: Most of the named characters are men, with only Prairie as the one named female character. At least, the staff of the Marine and submarines themselves showcase a few women.

* CoolGuns: Captain Grandchamp must take out a rocket launcher out of the weapon’s cache in the sub to shoot down an attacking helicopter.

* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Averted a few times. When calling his superior on phone the admiral is set on a waiting music by the general's assistant twice. And this film is much about the military executing their procedures while not listening to the rest of the world (in most films they would change their mind due to the power of friendship or something).
