US (2000): Action/Drama/Adventure

In October 1991, a confluence of weather conditions combined to form a killer storm in the North Atlantic. Caught in the storm was the sword-fishing boat Andrea Gail. Magnificent foreshadowing and anticipation fill this true-life drama while minute details of the fishing boats, their gear and the weather are juxtaposed with the sea adventure. Wolfgang Petersen directs George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Diane Lane, Karen Allen and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. (IMDb)
