Short description
The harrowing true story of the crew of the USS Indianapolis, who were stranded in the Philippine Sea for five days after delivering the atomic weapons that would eventually end WWII. As they awaited rescue, they endured extreme thirst, hunger, and relentless shark attacks.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on events recounted in the book "Facing the Danger: The Sinking of the Indianapolis and the Survivors," written by Doug Stanton, one of the tragedy's survivors.
- Matt Lander's grandfather served on the USS Indianapolis cruiser during World War II. In the film, the actor wears his grandfather's personal dog tags.
- Scenes aboard the Indianapolis cruiser were filmed aboard the battleship Alabama, docked in Mobile Bay. This same ship was used by Andrew Davis in the action film "Under Siege" (1992).
