The Finest Hours

Our latest give-away from Allied Faith and Family is The Finest Hours, an heroic action-thriller based on the extraordinary true story of the greatest small-boat rescue in Coast Guard history. In 1952, a massive winter storm strikes off the coast of Cape Cod, ripping a T-2 oil tanker in half and trapping more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly sinking stern. When word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard, four men led by Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) set out in a 12-seat boat on a daring mission to rescue the stranded men, braving freezing cold, 60-foot waves and hurricane-force winds, and guided by Webber’s vow that “We all live, or we all die.” Packed with thrilling, larger-than-life action and anchored in a belief in the strength of the human spirit, The Finest Hours © DISNEY 2016. is a triumph. The film offers themes of hope, humility and sacrifice, this in-home package will offer bonus features about the making of the movie and the remarkable true-life events that inspired it.
