Description:

When a monster storm hits the open sea, even the toughest ship is at risk. Watch as some truly spectacular retrievals unfold in The Perfect Storm: Rescues, including some from the 1991 event of the same name. With some waves reaching hundreds of feet, luck can be just as important as skill and determination; though there are interviews with rescuers and rescuees, the footage speaks for itself. These well-timed missions are starkly beautiful ballets and demand just as much from their participants as any of the more glamorous work such as firefighting. An additional tape covers the training of U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers, an elite team who go into desperately risky, life-threatening situations to bail out stranded or submerged boaters. Fast-paced, breathtakingly exciting, The Perfect Storm: Rescues beats Hollywood's best action flicks. --Rob Lightner
