The Finest Hours

I absolutely loved The Finest Hours when it hit theaters back in January (read my review here), and the bonus features on the new Blu-ray Combo Pack build on the awesomeness of the film.

The movie is based on the extraordinary real-life story of the greatest small-boat rescue in Coast Guard history. It takes place in 1952, when a massive winter storm strikes off the coast of Cape Cod, ripping a T-2 oil tanker in half and trapping more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly sinking stern.

When word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard, four men led by Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) set out in a 12-seat boat on a daring mission to rescue the stranded men, braving freezing cold, 60-foot waves and hurricane-force winds – all guided by Webber’s vow that “We all live, or we all die.”

Directed by Craig Gillespie, The Finest Hours also stars Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, John Ortiz and Eric Bana, and is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias. The bonus features include an all-new documentary, “Against All Odds: The Bernie Webber Story,” in which real-life residents of Chatham recall the events that set the stage for the film’s historic rescue mission; four making-of featurettes highlighting cast members experiences and reflections by members of the U.S. Coast Guard; as well as two never-before-seen deleted scenes.

Let’s take a closer look at the bonus features:
