Disney has released a new trailer for Craig
Gillespie's (Lars and the Real Girls) upcoming high-sea drama, The Finest
Hours. Based on a true story, Gillespie's action-thriller follows the daring coastguard
rescue of SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker, which in 1952 was ripped in half with
over 30 sailors onboard.
If you like The Perfect Storm or The Guardian, then
judging by the trailer you will also like The Finest Hours, which stars Chris Pine, Casey
Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, John Ortiz and Eric Bana.
The Finest Hours opens on January 29.
A heroic action-thriller, “The Finest Hours”
is the remarkable true story of the most daring rescue mission in the history
of the Coast Guard. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and
IMAX® 3D, the film will transport audiences to the heart of the action,
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, including the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was
literally ripped in half, trapping more than 30 sailors inside its
rapidly-sinking stern. As the senior officer on board, first assistant engineer
Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) soon 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,
as word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard station in Chatham,
Massachusetts, 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.
