| Brief Synopsis: |
The film takes place on a sinking WW2 warship that has just been struck by a torpedo and is rapidly going under. Our captain, a war veteran and decorated hero, experiences a crisis of faith—worrying, for the first time in his life, that perhaps he might come across as desperate. He instructs his Morse code operator to send out a distress message but urges him to avoid sounding "overbearing"—resulting in a confused and frustrated lifeboat team who ultimately decide to "sack it off." |
