On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker's sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds.
This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Finest Hours is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, John Ortiz and Eric Bana. Based on a true story, the magnitude of this daring rescue is simply incredible. I recommend seeing this film in the theater - it really enhances the size of the ship versus the rescue boat. I was anxious for them to all be rescued. A must-see in my book!
Thanks U.S. Coast Guard - we don't thank you enough for your sacrifices!!!
