The fishing schooner We're Here has just pulled up a different kind of fish; rich, 10-year-old Harvey Cheyne, who tumbled off the side of a sleek ocean liner. Harvey will have to wait months before the We're Here returns to harbour, months that will transform him from a spoiled whiner into an honourable young man - all because of the life lessons he learns from Manuel, the humble fisherman who befriends him.

From Rudyard Kiplings classic, Captains Courageous thrills with its seagoing action, grand scale and all-star cast. But what gives it full-masted magnificence is the chemistry between Freddie Bartholomew (Harvey) and Spencer Tracy (Manuel). Tracy won his first Best Actor Academy Award for his towering portrait of the father we all wish for: virile, patient, wise and protective. Set sail for cinema glory.
