Sam Neill play a husband and wife seeking to heal from the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the sea, where they rescue Billy Zane from a foundering ship.

Robert Redford gives a late-career exemplary performance in one-man show as a individual fighting to endure in the specific sea after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to watch, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The main star provides excellent performance in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the skipper of an American cargo ship commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's thriller, based on true stories. If the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
