Plots(1)
The time is 1945. The setting, a navy cargo ship far from battles raging in the Pacific. Longing to see real action, Lt. Doug Roberts (Robert Hays) wages a war of wills against Capt. Morton (Charles Durning), a petty tyrant whom the rambunctious crew considers "approximately God." Allied with Ensign Pulver (Kevin Bacon) and Doc (Howard Hesseman), Roberts finds himself torn between his ambition to serve his country and his duty to serve his men. (official distributor synopsis)
