This was a good movie about the Battle of the Atlantic. Hanks is the skipper of a Destroyer escorting a convoy across the Atlantic while being hunted by a wolf pack of German U-boats. Our tin can sailors and merchant mariners (and their British + Canadian counterparts) went through a heck of a lot to keep the world from descending into the dark ages. And yes, the U-boats and their captains & crews were highly formidable and brave-even foolhardy adversaries. Worth a look.
Trigger warning for those of you in the woke crowd: the Imperialist Americans and Brits ultimately 'win',Hanks prays and prays and prays, a religious image is prominently displayed in the Captain's state room proclaiming the glory of Jesus Christ, and SPOILER NEXT (stop reading now if you don't want to see spoiler)--->
the Black guy (a friendly cook/mess specialist) gets killed and dumped into the Ocean.
