Action in the North Atlantic
Warner Bros. thunderous story of the men of the merchant marine!
Directed by Lloyd Bacon
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A wartime action drama centered on merchant marine sailors undertaking a perilous convoy mission, balancing combat tension with camaraderie and patriotic resolve.
Merchant Marine sailors Joe Rossi (Humphrey Bogart) and Steve Jarvis (Raymond Massey) are charged with getting a supply vessel to Russian allies as part of a sea convoy. When the group of ships comes under attack from a German U-boat, Rossi and Jarvis navigate through dangerous waters to evade Nazi naval forces. Though their mission across the Atlantic is extremely treacherous, they are motivated by the opportunity to strike back at the Germans, who sank one of their earlier ships.
