The Finest Hours | Anatomy of a Movie

Hosts Marisa Serafini (@SerafiniTV), Demetri Panos (@DMovies1701), Sara Stretton (@Sara_Stretton) and Phil Svitek (@PDSvitek) discuss the 2016 Disney Film, The Finest Hours with film consultants John W. Pruitt the third, Paul Roszkowski, and Mike Lute. The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952. On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker’s sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds.
