About: Based on the extraordinary true story of the greatest smallboat rescue in Coast Guard history, THE FINEST HOURS is a tale of courage, loyalty and honor in the face of overwhelming odds. When a massive storm strikes off the coast of Cape Cod, it rips a T-2 oil tanker in half, trapping more than 30 sailors on its rapidly sinking stern. As Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) and his crew set out in a 12-seat rescue boat to save them, Chief Engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) struggles to buy his men more time. Packed with heroic larger-than-life action and driven by the men’s faith in their mission, themselves and one another, THE FINEST HOURS is a triumph.

Our thoughts?

This is a movie that we were really excited to watch as a family. I really like that this film has a historical base to it (educational) and that it is actually a very family friendly movie with a very inspirational message and theme. It is neat for kids to get to see these heroes (they also show photos of the REAL heroes) and to hear their stories. Very well done with some beautiful imagery and action Plus, it tells a wonderful story.
