Robert Redford plays a solitary yachtsman in the middle of the Indian Ocean whose boat is hit by an abandoned shipping container. With the boat taking on water and in danger of sinking, the unnamed man attempts to patch the ruptured vessel, but with heavy storms and rough waters continuing to threaten his existence, it isn't long before he is face to face with his own mortality. He is then forced to make use of the limited resources onboard while desperately trying to navigate himself to safety. (Universal Pictures UK)
