The original television series version following the crew of a German WW2 U-Boat as they live together, hunt Allied shipping and are preyed on themselves. The tension, claustrophobia and their fear leap out of the screen and totally avoids any sense of nationalism in what would have been fatal for this superb production.
Awesome.
Olympian Louis “Louie” Zamperini, along with two other crewmen, survive in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash while on a bombing raid in WWII, but it is when they are caught by the Japanese and sent to prisoner of war camp that Louis’ endurance test really begins. A rather ‘worthy’ dramatisation of the man’s biopic.
