Disney’s newest heroic action-thriller, “The Finest Hours”, looks incredible. I have enjoyed their previous bio-pics, such as “McFarland, USA (2015)“, “Million Dollar Arm (2014)” and “Saving Mr. Banks (2013)“. Disney often selects wonderfully inspiring stories to share. Have you seen “The Finest Hours” trailer yet? It is pretty amazing.
“The Finest Hours” is a remarkable true story about one of the most daring rescue mission in the history of the Coast Guard. Presented in phenomenal Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, this film will transport you to the heart of the action, by creating a fully-immersive cinematic experience on an epic scale. On February 18, 1952, a massive nor’easter struck New England, pummeling towns along the Eastern seaboard and wreaking havoc on the ships caught in its deadly path. The SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was literally ripped in half, trapped more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly-sinking stern. The senior officer on board, first assistant engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) realizes it is up to him to take charge of the frightened crew and inspire the men to set aside their differences and work together to ride out one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast. Meanwhile, word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard station in Chatham, Massachusetts, and Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana) orders a daring operation to rescue the stranded men. Despite overwhelming odds, four men, led by Coast Guard Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set out in a wooden lifeboat with an ill-equipped engine and little, if any, means of navigation, facing frigid temperatures, 60-foot high waves and hurricane-force winds.
