White Squall
ActionAdventureDrama129 min
In 1960, a group of prep school students boards an old-fashioned sailing ship for a discipline-building voyage under Capt. Christopher Sheldon. Jeff Bridges is the hard-edged skipper, while Scott Wolf and Ryan Phillippe are among the boys learning the ship’s routines, hierarchies, and hazards at sea. Ridley Scott follows the crossing from rough initiation and seasickness to disaster when a white squall hits, turning the expedition’s lessons in fortitude and teamwork into a struggle for survival on open water.
