They learn from their captain how to be men, and their experiences that they have, from sailing in Cuban waters during the Bay of Pigs invasion, to fighting for their lives in a white squall, help them cope better with their problems back home. The picture quality is excellent with the colors of the various locations the boys visit coming out nicely. The sound was not the best I have heard. I had to turn up my TV just to hear what was being said in one part of the movie, only to turn it down in other parts to keep from going deaf. Overall, rent this movie first before buying it.
Some people think the movie is dumb, and has no real plot.
Since the story is based on actual events, I tell people that life sometimes doesn't have a plot, either. I like this movie, and the DVD transfer as well. Rent it first, and decide for yourself. All rights reserved. Privacy policy .
