Huit pêcheurs, tous habitants d'un même village, se retrouvent piégés sur un morceau de glace qui s'est détaché de la côte et continue à dériver en pleine mer. Les dernières réserves de nourriture et d'eau potable sont épuisées, les hommes mangent du poisson cru. Le morceau de glace devient de plus en plus petit. Ils se croient sauvés lorsqu'un canot apparait, mais celui-ci trop petit ne peut prendre que cinq parmi eux. Un tirage au sort déterminera qui pourra monter et qui devra rester. Dans cette situation extrême chacun se montre sous son vrai jour.Actors

In the near future, the United States Navy develops an aviation program to deal with international terrorists and other enemies of the state quickly and quietly, and project controller Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard) is authorized to develop new technology to achieve these objectives. The project's first brainchild are "F/A-37 Talon" single-seat fighters with impressive payload, speed, and stealth capabilities. Over 400 pilots apply to participate, but only three are chosen: smart hotshot Lieutenant Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas), tomboyish Lieutenant Kara Wade (Jessica Biel), and street-wise, philosophical Lieutenant Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx).

The American Buckley-class destroyer escort USS Haynes detects and attacks a German U-boat that is on its way to rendezvous with a German merchant raider in the South Atlantic Ocean. Captain Murrell (Robert Mitchum), a former officer in the merchant marine now an active duty lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve, has recently taken command of the Haynes, even though he is still recovering from injuries incurred in the sinking of his previous ship. Before the U-boat is first spotted, one sailor questions the new captain's fitness and ability. However, as the battle begins, Murrell shows himself to be a match for wily U-boat Kapitän von Stolberg (Curt Jürgens) (portrayed as not being enamoured with the Nazi regime) in a prolonged and deadly battle of wits that tests both men and their crews. Each man grows to respect his opponent.
