White Squall

Film Description

Eclectic director Ridley Scott here tries his hand at a coming-of-age tale, which stars Jeff Bridges as gruff ship's captain Christopher Sheldon who takes a group of teenagers on a floating summer school, conducted on a two-masted brigantine bound for South America. He reins in the obnoxious and encourages the anxious through the ship's chores. Finally, the crew must confront the fabled white squall, a deadly storm so rare that even Sheldon has never experienced one. Scott's film is one of spectacular visual beauty.
