Based on the true story of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat lost at sea in 1991 during a freak storm--one of the biggest of the century--off the coast of Newfoundland. Film briefly sets up the backgrounds of the six men who will be the captain and crew on the tragic voyage, but not even Clooney and Wahlberg can compete with the watery special effects and it turns into a stereotypical disaster flick. Adapted from Sebastian Junger's bestselling nonfiction account of the tragedy.
okey fans you are right mark wahlberg's role died in the movie. oh this is also a book like the lovely bones. i'm fine to see this movie i think. i want to cry but i can't hold it in that night when i saw it.okey i will never be on a boat in a storm. in my nightmare, i died in a storm when i was on a boat in the storm. now i see mark wahlberg's role in a happy place.
In the fall of 1991, the Andrea Gail left Gloucester, Mass., and headed for the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic. Two weeks later, an event took place that had never occurred in recorded history.
