in the National Parks Conservation Association book, "A Century of Impact." Crimson Tide In 1993 while Toti was serving as executive officer (second in command) of the submarine (SSBN-728) Gold Crew, a group of filmmakers from Hollywood Pictures including Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson embarked in USS Florida to conduct research into the storyline of a movie to be titled Crimson Tide, about another Trident submarine, . Toti helped them in correcting the direction of the plot of the movie. Crimson Tide was released globally in 1995, and Crimson Tide screenwriter Michael Schiffer attended the 1997 ceremony when Toti took command of USS Indianapolis at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Inspired by his relationship with screenwriter Schiffer, Toti then authored a sequel to Crimson Tide, titled The Genocide Game. The plot-line of The Genocide Game involved Crimson Tide lead character Hunter (played by Denzel Washington), with Hunter, in command of Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Indianapolis, the same submarine which Toti himself would later command. In The Genocide Game, Hunter discovers an Iranian submarine that has been taken control of by Al-Qaeda terrorists, who then use the Iranian submarine to threaten New York City. Toti shared the script with Schiffer, and the two of them collectively pitched this story to Bruckheimer, who rejected the idea of doing a sequel. Toti then entered the screenplay into the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Nicholl Screenwriting Contest where The Genocide Game finished as a 2001 semi-finalist.
