Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis (1991)
Mission of the Shark was directed by award winning Robert Iscove and written by Alan Sharp. The movie was released 29 September 1991 and was a great success. The movie was filmed in Mobile, Alabama, USA. The cast is okay and Stacy Keach and Richard Thomas plays the two main roles in the movie. The movie is based on a true story when the Indianapolis sank and the crew had to do everything for survival. The film lasts for 100 minutes but got enough background story to last for at least 200 minutes more. The work of the background story is the film is amazing and it should have been a mini series rather than a movie. The actors offer a good screenplay and the story is great, so there is not much to complain about here.
The film leaves a bit to be desired, but the saddest part of the tale is that the horror is true and the abhorrent behavior of the US Navy was unforgivable, even as of 1991. However the movie gives you good facts what really happen with the atom bomb on Hiroshima. As I already stated above it’s a good movie with good actors made in Alabama.
