White Squall
1996

Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Jeff Bridges, Caroline Goodall, John Savage, Jeremy Sisto, Scott Wolf
A gripping character drama about a group of students who go on a sailing trip but get caught in a storm. Their ship is skippered by Jeff Bridges in another charismatic performance. The unnecessary feelgood ending almost spoils the film. Based on Charles Gieg's book The Last Voyage of the Albatross.
