Dir. Peter Weir · United States of America · English, French
The courage to do the impossible lies in the hearts of men.
After an abrupt and violent encounter with a French warship inflicts severe damage upon his ship, a captain of the British Royal Navy begins a chase over two oceans to capture or destroy the enemy, though he must weigh his commitment to duty and ferocious pursuit of glory against the safety of his devoted crew, including the ship's thoughtful surgeon, his best friend.
"We feel ourselves to be in good company with these men, and strangely jealous of their packed and salted lives."
— Anthony Lane
"It never achieves the visual elegance or majesty that a David Lean might have provided. The story line isn't the freshest. And yet the film is satisfying all the same."
— Peter Rainer
