Against the Sun

A true WWII survival story unfolds in "Against the Sun," a gripping drama that follows three US Navy airmen - pilot Harold Dixon, bombardier Tony Pastula, and radioman Gene Aldrich - as they find themselves adrift on a tiny life raft after ditching their plane during a scouting mission. Stranded with no food or water, the men must rely on each other's skills to survive the harsh conditions of the vast Pacific Ocean, facing starvation, dehydration, and the ever-present threat of shark attacks. After 34 days at sea, they finally spot land and wash up on the shore of an island, Pukapuka, in a testament to human resilience and determination.
