EditGreyhound (2019)

Under 2. verdenskrig har en kaptajn (Tom Hanks) fået til opgave at lede en konvoj af allierede skibe med tusindvis af soldater over det faretruende vand ”Black Pit” i Atlanterhavet. Uden luftstøtte og omgivet af nazi-ubåde, må de kæmpe sig igennem for at give de allierede en chance for at vinde krigen.

Based on C.S. Forester’s novel from 1955 “The Good Shepherd”, this film follows some events that are related to the early days of World War II. At the beginning of the United States’ involvement in the war, Commander Enest Krause (Tom Hanks) is sent to a life and death mission. In his first command of the US Navy destroyer, Greyhound, Commander Krause has to successfully lead an international convoy of 37 Allied ships through the North Atlantic. These are perilous waters, since Nazi U-boats are ready to do anything to abort the mission. Although Commander Krause has an eminent career in the Navy, he is still torn apart by self-doubt and uncertainty. There are two conflicts developing in parallel - an inside struggle, to which the Commander has to find a solution, and the outside collision with a merciless enemy.
