The worst naval disaster in American history will soon be coming to the big screen. USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage — starring an ensemble cast that includes Nicolas Cage, Tom Sizemore, and Thomas Jane — depicts the true story of the USS Indianapolis and its crew, who were stranded for five excruciatingly long days in the Philippine Sea after delivering World War II–ending atomic weapons. A Japanese submarine successfully torpedoed and sunk the ship following the crew’s secret mission, and as they awaited rescue with nothing more than a few dinghies and life preservers, they were forced to endure starvation, dehydration, and even an abundance of shark attacks. Harrowing is an understatement.
