A group of sailors get caught in The Perfect Storm when a dying hurricane collides with two other weather systems off the eastern coast of the United States. When one of their own is trapped in a burning building, firefighters take gallant measures to rescue their colleague in Ladder 49. The 1951 movie The Frogmen tells the story of another elite group of swimmers who were a vital part of the World War II fighting effort.
