Overview

An exhilarating, suspenseful naval thriller set in the Second World War, as gripping as Nicholas Monsarrat's The Cruel Sea Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks. Set in the early days of WWII, Greyhound is the story of an international convoy of 37 Allied ships, led by captain Ernest Krause (Hanks) in his first command of a U.S. destroyer. The convoy ploughs through icy, submarine-infested North Atlantic seas while hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi U-boats. Faced with 48 hours of desperate peril, Captain Krause's hopeless mission is doomed to fail. But armed with extraordinary courage and grit, hope may just be on the horizon.
