The main star delivers a mature masterclass in one-man show as a person battling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a impact with an stray transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to film.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor provides sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the skipper of an American cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a sensational film debut as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by real events. If the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.
