Short description

The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952.

What's left behind the scenes

Chris Pine and Eric Bana starred together in “Star Trek” (2009).
An old model police car used in the film was borrowed from the Orleans, Massachusetts, city police.
Chris Pine and Holliday Grainger had previously starred in films from “Disney,” Pine in “Into the Woods” (2014) and “The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement” (2004), and Grainger in “Cinderella” (2015).
Filming took place primarily in the town of Chatham, Massachusetts.
In 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard named a 46-meter high-speed boat of a new design after Boatswain's Mate Bernard Webber of CG 36500. These boats were the first vessels to be named after enlisted personnel.
Ben Foster and Eric Bana played “Navy SEALs” in the film “Lone Survivor” (2013), and Kyle Gallner played a Marine in the film “Sniper” (2014).
Chris Pine and Ben Foster starred together in the film "Hell or High Water" (2016).
Casey Affleck and Ben Foster worked together on the film "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" (2013).
The film's screenplay is based on the book by Michael J. Tagias and Casey Sherman, “The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue.”
The CG 36500 boat, launched by the Coast Guard vessel to rescue the crew of the tanker Pendleton, was maintained in perfect condition as of 2016 in Rock Harbor, Orleans, Massachusetts.
Casey Affleck and Josh Stewart worked together on the film "Interstellar" (2014). Stewart did not appear on screen, but voiced the robot CASE.
Kyle Gallner and Michael Raymond-James starred in the popular television series "The Walking Dead" (2010) on the "AMC" channel, but in different seasons. Gallner played Zach in season 4, and Raymond-James played Dave in season 2.
Of the entire team involved in rescuing the sailors of the "Pendleton", only Captain 3rd Rank (retired) Mel “Gus” Gutro and Andy Fitzgerald were still alive at the time of filming. On November 10 and 11, 2014, they visited the set and observed the filming of scenes depicting the rescue of the surviving sailors of the "Pendleton".
