Murphy's War

In the closing days of World War II, a U-boat attack on the Orinoco River in Venezuela leaves only one survivor, an Irish seaman consumed by his quest for revenge and retribution against the Nazi German submarine that sank his ship and slaughtered its crew. Directed by Peter Yates, "Murphy's War" is a gritty, realistic WW2 flick in the tradition of "The African Queen", focusing on Murphy's obsessive pursuit of vengeance as he plots to sink the U-boat using unconventional means. With only one survivor left to exact his revenge, Murphy becomes embroiled with a local oil company and a friendly Frenchman, setting him on a perilous course towards a final confrontation that will leave only death in its wake.
