Plot
When the
luxury liner SS
Crescent Star sinks in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean, twenty-seven survivors converge on a single
lifeboat designed to accommodate far fewer. The wounded captain passes command to executive officer Alec Holmes (Tyrone Power) before dying. Holmes then learns from "Sparks" Clary (
John Stratton), the ship's radio operator, that the transmitter was destroyed before a call for help could be sent. Holmes decides to try to reach the nearest land 1500 miles away.
With a major storm approaching, Frank Kelly (Lloyd Nolan) warns Holmes that the overloaded boat will be swamped unless some of the passengers are jettisoned. The injured Kelly then sacrifices himself by jumping overboard. Holmes decides to get rid of the old and injured, over the shocked protests of his girlfriend, Julie White (Mai Zetterling). When he orders Will McKinley (Stephen Boyd) to dispose of an unconscious woman, McKinley obeys, then jumps in after her. One by one, Holmes sends others to certain death.
The lightened lifeboat weathers the storm and the rest of the survivors thank Holmes for saving them. Then, they spot a ship. As it comes to pick them up, the others distance themselves from Holmes' actions.
