Pacific War, 1945. The warship "USS Indianapolis" under Captain McVay (Nicolas Cage) is on a dangerous mission: the transport of the atomic bomb "Little Boy" to Tinian. On the way back, the ship is torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and sinks. Since the mission is top secret, no S.O.S. signal can be sent. For the shipwrecked crew in the sheer endless expanses of the Pacific, an almost hopeless fight for survival begins. The men are not only exposed to extreme thirst and hunger, but also deadly shark attacks. And with every passing day, the hope of salvation dwindles...
The visually stunning war epic sheds light on the largest maritime catastrophe in the United States, which preceded the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. With a top-class cast (including Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage and Golden Globe nominees Tom Sizemore and Thomas Jane), "USS Indianapolis - Men of Courage" guarantees nerve-wracking high tension!
