Storyline
In February of 1952, one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast
struck New England, damaging an oil tanker off the coast of Cape Cod and
literally ripping it in half. On a small lifeboat faced with frigid
temperatures and 70-foot high waves, four members of the Coast Guard set
out to rescue the more than 30 stranded sailors trapped aboard the
rapidly-sinking vessel.
User Reviews
Takes place in the
early 1950's where a giant storm dominates the seas by breaking a tanker
truck in half, with only a few hours left to survive, the crew id does
what they can survive. A rescue ship is sent to try and get to them, but
the question is will they ?
I love the early 50's look, it
captures it so perfectly. Everybody gives a good performance, almost
nobody stands out. The storms scenes are also well shot, you'll feel
caught up in the storm also. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's
easy to compare this to The Perfect storm(2000), it has the same feel
to it. I hope you won't be disappointed by this.
