The Mercy

In 1968, English businessman Donald Crowhurst embarks on a doomed journey to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a single-handed, round-the-world yacht race, blinded by ambition and desperate for financial security. As delays and costs mount, Crowhurst's reality begins to unravel, threatening his family's stability and his own sanity. With each passing day, he becomes increasingly isolated, hiding his true progress from the press and his loved ones, while struggling to cope with the crushing pressure of his situation.
