Chris Pine Faces a Monster Wave in 'The Finest Hours' Clip

Chris Pine and Ben Foster race to save their ship in this exclusive clip for Walt Disney Picture’s upcoming high-seas disaster drama The Finest Hours. The film is based on the true story of a U.S. Coast Guard team that braved exceptionally treacherous waters to try and save crew members stranded on two wrecked oil tankers during a severe storm in 1952. (Don’t look up the Wikipedia entry if you want to keep the film’s ending unspoiled!)

The dangerous mission happened off the coast of New England and was led by Boatswain’s Mate First Class Bernard C. Webber (played by Pine). Along the way, Webber and his crew are confronted with some life-threatening conditions of their own — including a stalled engine at the worst possible time.
