Finest Hours, The

Based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias, The Finest Hours is an historic action-thriller that tells the story of the greatest small-boat rescue in Coast Guard history. In 1952, a massive winter storm strikes on the coast of Cape Cod, ripping a T-2 oil tanker in half and trapping more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly sinking stern. When word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard, four men, led by Captain Bernie Webber (Pine), set out in a 12-seat boat on a daring mission to rescue the stranded men, braving freezing cold, 60-foot wave,s and hurricane-force winds, and guided by Webber's vow that “We all live, or we all die.” (Gary Reber)
