That was done as a made-for-TV movie The Hunley, starring Armand Assante as Lt. George Dixon and Donald Sutherland as General P.G.T. Beauregard.

The words "Made-for-TV movie" usually elicit a groan from me, but apparently it won and was nominated for a couple of awards.

I saw a few minutes of it here and there. The scenes inside CSS Hunley were very good at portraying the cramped conditions.
