True Story of the US Airman who ditched in the Pacific
16 April 2016
Based on true events this tells the story of three US airmen who ran out of fuel on a raid in World War II in the Pacific theatre and had to ditch in the sea. They were unable to salvage much from the plane and ended up in a tiny rubber raft and had to try to survive. This is their story.

Now this is filmed mostly in and around the raft and so the three main actors have to do an excellent job and I think they do, I really like Garrett Dilahunt ('No Country for Old Men') as Dixon who has to go through the full range of emotions but both Tom Felton and Jake Abel as his companions are both commendable. The make up crew deserve a pat on the back too – very convincing.

This is not one you will gain from seeing a second time though but is still worth a stream, or a rent as I found this to be both compelling, well made and eminently watchable.
