00:00During a brutal storm, four men hold onto their boat for dear life after 13 hours of being lost
00:05at sea. They keep repeating a chant about being strong, refusing to give up now. This all started
00:10a week ago in Florida. Nick works as a personal trainer at an important training camp, where he
00:14befriends NFL players Marquis and Corey. They exercise hard but also have lots of fun by teasing
00:19each other. One night, the guys have dinner together with their families. Nick's best friend
00:23Will arrives late with bad news, he just lost his job. To cheer him up, his friends invite him to
00:28their fishing trip next weekend. On Saturday morning, Will shows up too early and makes
00:32noise until Nick leaves the bed. Then he takes over the kitchen to make 40 sandwiches at record
00:36speed. Will and Nick leave together for Marquis' home and finally see the boat. It's supposed
00:40to hold 11 people, but the duo thinks it looks too small. Marquis' house is a bit of a mess
00:45because he's getting things ready to move. He admits he doesn't want to move to Oakland
00:48because there's no access to the ocean there, and he can't live without the waves because
00:52they feel like home. But he has no choice because of work. After Marquis says goodbye to his
00:56family, the group finally leaves. At the pier, they discuss the weather because they heard about
01:00an upcoming storm, but they agree they should be back before it reaches this area. They also put
01:05their phones in plastic bags to protect them from the water, although they won't have service at sea.
01:09Will is a little worried but Marquis assures him that the boat has a radio. A few hours later,
01:13Nick's mother wakes up and watches the news, only to learn about the storm. She tries to call Nick
01:18to warn him, but he doesn't hear his phone because the guys are chatting and playing music while they
01:21fish. They fish for a while in the same spot before they move deeper into the sea to try a new area.
01:26After four hours at sea, Corey manages to catch a big fish while Will gets his line stuck on the boat.
01:31Nick feels seasick but when he calms down, he finally understands why Marquis feels so zen at
01:36the ocean and gets philosophical. At that moment they start hearing thunder in the distance and
01:40notice the sky is getting dark, so they decide it's time to go home. Corey tries to pick the anchor,
01:44but it only moves for a few seconds before it gets stuck. The friends try pulling the rope together
01:49but it's still not enough to make the anchor budge. As the thunder gets closer, they tie the rope to
01:53the boat and Marquis starts the engine, only for the boat to tilt under the weight of the anchor.
01:57Marquis keeps trying by using all the engine's power, and the boat tilts so much that water
02:01starts getting in. Yet the anchor still won't move. Suddenly a big wave hits the boat, causing all the
02:06guys to fall into the water. They desperately swim in the harsh current until they manage to resurface
02:10and discover that their boat has been overturned. Fighting against the waves, the group reaches the boat
02:15and works together to try to turn it over, but it won't budge. They try from a different angle
02:19to no avail. Will realizes that the anchor may be holding the boat down, so Marquis dives in to get
02:24the rope. While the others hold his clothes to keep him close, Marquis rubs the rope on the propeller
02:28until it breaks. Then they try to flip the boat again to no avail. After five hours, the guys are
02:33still holding onto the boat. Marquis remembers that there are life vests in the boat, but it's getting
02:37difficult to swim because of his wet clothes. He takes a few layers off while ignoring Nick, who thinks
02:42they should keep their clothes on for warmth. Marquis dives in and has to open the hatch to search
02:46for the vests. This allows water to enter the boat, and the weight begins bringing it down.
02:50The others panic, but thankfully Marquis closes the hatch before the boat sinks and resurfaces with
02:55one vest. Will dives next and comes out with the rest of the vests. Then Marquis goes back to bring
03:00the flares. Lastly Cory dives in to look for food, but he can't see anything and comes back empty-handed.
03:05At that moment the group sees a ship so they start screaming and light up a flare. Sadly the ship doesn't
03:10see them and goes away. The guys try to keep up the mood by teasing each other about the situation.
03:14Then Nick dives in using the flare for light and finds the bag with the phones. He brings them to
03:18the surface and everyone tries to call 911, but they have no signal. Meanwhile Nick's wife is worried
03:23because he hasn't returned and calls his mother. They agree it's time they get some help. At the same
03:28time, a cop reaches the pier and finds the abandoned car with the empty boat trailer, so he alerts the
03:32coast guard. While waiting for news, the wives call each other to stay strong. Back to the group, they're pushed
03:38off the boat by the brutal waves. They stay afloat, thanks to the life vests and swim back, helping each other
03:43to climb on the boat. Marquis is starting to feel very cold without his clothes, so Nick reminds him
03:48that they have each other and they're strong. At that moment it stops raining and the guys think
03:51the storm is finally over. However a huge wave appears in front of them and throws them off the
03:55boat again. For a few minutes they can't see each other or hear anything because of the thunder.
04:00Eventually they find each other, but they can't see the boat. After a bit of searching Cory finally
04:04finds it floating nearby and quickly climbs on it so that the others can see him. Marquis says he cut his
04:08leg when he fell and needs help to move. Suddenly another wave hits them and throws them underwater
04:13again. After some struggle, the guys manage to get back on the boat. By now they've been lost at sea
04:18for 10 hours. While Cory tries to give an encouraging speech, Marquis feels really weak and says that if
04:23he's meant to die, it has to happen at sea. Nick refuses to accept this and calms him down by making
04:27him think about his family, but now Marquis thinks his daughter is there. The guys realize the hypothermia is
04:32getting to him, so they surround him and light another flare to keep him warm. It's been 20 hours of being lost
04:37at sea and the rain is back. Marquis' body is slipping off the boat so Will tries to pull him back up. In the
04:42struggle, Marquis accidentally punches him and Will falls into the water. Nick quickly helps him climb back
04:47while Cory embraces Marquis to keep him still, since his mind is still hallucinating because of the hypothermia.
04:52Eventually he ends up slipping off the boat and the others have to work together to bring him back up. At the
04:57Coast Guard office, the employees are searching for any SOS messages. The men's wives call them to tell them
05:02about the missing group, so the employees realize that the abandoned car belongs to them. Captain Timothy announces
05:07that their status is going from alert to distress and their aircraft must go out. The pilots start the
05:12search but they have trouble because there's almost zero visibility and the storm has knocked out their
05:15radar. Two of the wives get together to search the boxes for Marquis' old GPS, hoping it'll have the
05:20coordinates to his favorite fishing spot. At that moment they get a call from Timothy, who tells them
05:25he needs some clue or the pilots will have to come back. Luckily the wives find the GPS just in time
05:29and give him the coordinates. Timothy's team checks the system and they learn of a shipwreck in that area,
05:34so the wives confirm that the guys talked about seeing that shipwreck during previous trips.
05:38Timothy immediately sends the aircraft in that direction. On the boat, the guys tell Marquis
05:42to open his mouth and drink the rain. The waves are getting worse by the second and the group
05:46keeps sliding off. Corey starts feeling very hot so Will reminds him that hypothermia messes with
05:50their minds and tries to help him breathe. Another wave makes Marquis fall, but he's so sick that he
05:55can't swim. Will is thrown off as well and Corey almost follows, but Will quickly climbs back to keep him in
06:00place. A panicking Nick jumps into the water to look for Marquis, however it's too dark to see
06:04anything and the waves keep pushing him back. Nick has no choice but to return to the boat to avoid
06:09drowning and the three of them yell in frustration and grief as they realize Marquis isn't coming back.
06:13Corey gets so crazy that he pushes Will off, yet Will never gives up and comes back to hold him
06:17through his sorrow. At that moment the Coast Guard aircraft fly above them, so Nick turns on the
06:21flashlight on his phone and the three of them start screaming. The pilots still can't see them and are
06:25considering going back, but suddenly a man sees a flash of light in the corner of his eye. The other
06:30pilots double-check and still see nothing, so they assume it was a reflection on the water and leave.
06:34While another wave throws the guys off, the wives receive a call informing them that the search has
06:38been called off because of the weather. They'll start again when the storm clears. The wives try to
06:43stay positive and hold hands for comfort. In the Coast Guard office, Timothy calls a ship called
06:47Tornado for help and the commander immediately wakes up his crew to make them keep an eye out for the
06:51boat. By morning, only Nick and Will have managed to climb back on the boat after the last fall.
06:55They keep yelling Corey's name but there's no answer. Will points out that Marquis and Corey
06:59were stronger than them but didn't make it, so he loses hope for himself. Nick insists he needs to
07:04put on some clothes but Will refuses to dive to search the boat, and they end up arguing. Suddenly
07:08two sharks start swimming around the boat and the guys panic. They move to the highest spot and realize
07:13that the sharks are probably attracted to the fish they caught earlier. When the sharks search the
07:17boat, Will's sandwiches come out and start floating. The duo wants to grab them but the sandwiches are too
07:21far away and the men can't get in the water because of the sharks. Since they have nothing to do
07:25but wait, they try to chat to keep themselves distracted. However, Will brings up heavy
07:29subjects like eternity and faith. Nick doesn't consider himself an atheist but he doesn't see
07:33the point in praying to the same God that caused this in the first place. When Nick starts ranting
07:37with clear anger, Will asks him not to give up on God yet. Nick hugs him and says he isn't giving up
07:42on anything, then they start repeating there we get strong chant. The media starts talking about the
07:46missing NFL players and the tornado keeps on searching, but the visibility is poor so the crew can't see much
07:51either. Meanwhile Nick's wife tells his parents that the search has been postponed. His mother is
07:55furious and rushes to the coast guard office to yell at Timothy, who explains that he can't risk
07:59his pilots lives and promises they'll go out again soon. She wonders if her son is dead and Timothy
08:04tells her to trust her gut. Back to Will and Nick, they're thrown off the boat once more and they have
08:08to swim against some very savage waves to get back to the boat, only to be pushed again. They return to
08:12the boat as fast as possible and Nick gets an idea. He gets in the water to pull at the cables from the
08:17engine until they break, then he says they should tie themselves to the boat. Will thinks it's a bad
08:21idea because they'll drown, but Nick points out that at this rate they'll drown anyway. They tie
08:25the cables around their waists and when another wave hits them, they don't fall. Moments later,
08:30a bigger wave manages to throw the guys off the boat, but the cables keep them close so they climb
08:34back pretty quickly. At that moment a plane flies by and the duo tries yelling and waving their arms,
08:38but they aren't seen and the plane leaves. Nick and Will can feel the despair taking over their minds.
08:43A few moments later, Will realizes they've been on the water for 24 hours and
08:47wonders why nobody has rescued them. There's some visibility now thanks to the morning sun,
08:51so he decides to untie the cable and dive to look for food. He comes back with a bag of pretzels
08:55and a drink. At that moment Will sees something in the distance and thinks it's land. Nick tries
09:00calling 911 and texting his wife, but he still has no signal. He wonders if they may be hallucinating,
09:05but Will points out that two people can't hallucinate the same thing. Since planes have
09:08flied by without seeing them, he thinks they should take the risk now. They untie the cables and leave
09:13the boat to start swimming toward the supposed land. However after just a few minutes, they lose
09:17sight of both whatever it was they saw in the boat. When they turn around, they realize they can't see
09:22each other either. They desperately swim around trying to find anything, and eventually Nick makes
09:26it to the boat. Will soon arrives as well and Nick has to help him stay afloat. The storm finally clears,
09:31so the tornado and the aircraft continue their search. This time the radars work well. After 30 hours at sea,
09:37Nick notices Will has been too quiet and checks on his state of mind. Will admits he's thinking about his
09:41funeral and wonders if he'll be there. He lies down as his body starts trembling and thinks about what
09:45would have happened if he had gotten married, pointing out that maybe a wife would have made
09:49him stay home. As he starts having a breakdown, Will asks Nick to send a message to his parents.
09:54However before he can decide on the message, he starts feeling very hot and tries to jump into the
09:58water. A wave hits them while Nick grabs the cables to keep Will close. He even wraps his arms around
10:03him to hold him, but Will takes off his vest to free himself. Another wave hits them and Will slides off
10:07the boat, so Nick keeps pulling at the cables to try to bring him back. Unfortunately a third wave
10:12comes and pushes Will away, leaving Nick alone and yelling in despair. At the Coast Guard office,
10:16Timothy hears that both aircraft came back without results. He tells his team not to lose hope and
10:21work hard to find the victims. In the evening, the tornado crew gives up as well, although two men
10:26decide to stay outside a little longer. Nick's wife is losing hope and leaves a message on his voicemail,
10:30crying as she talks about their years together. Then she goes outside and lets Nick's mother comfort her.
10:35A few hours later, Nick hears a noise and sees the tornado in the distance, but they don't see him.
10:40He thinks about his wife and mother to avoid letting disappointment kill his mood. After 42
10:44hours at sea, Nick keeps dreaming about his friends and their deaths. His last specks of hope finally
10:49dies so he unties the cables and lies down on the boat, waiting for the end to come. At that moment,
10:53the tornado finally sees him and they send out a boat to rescue him. Timothy receives the news on the
10:58radio and immediately sends out the aircraft as well. A helicopter soon lowers a stretcher and Nick
11:02finally gets to leave the sea safely. The tornado crew and the coast guard celebrate their success
11:06while paramedics take care of Nick's injuries. Timothy calls Nick's family and they get to
11:10celebrate, but the other wives aren't so lucky. Six months later, Nick can hear his friend screams
11:15every time he is near water. This is based on a true story. The search for the other men continued
11:20for several days, but it had to be called off and the victims were declared lost at sea.
