StoryLine:

In 1945, the Portland-class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, commanded by Captain Charles McVay (Nicolas Cage), delivers parts of the atomic bomb that would later be used to bomb Hiroshima at the end of World War II. While patrolling in the Philippine Sea, on July 30 in 1945, the unescorted ship is torpedoed and sunk by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) submarine I-58, taking 300 crewmen with it to the bottom of the Philippine Sea, while the rest climb out of the ship and were left stranded at sea for five days without food and water in shark-infested waters.USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage 2016 full Movie Download,

With no hope for five days, most of the remaining crew-members were eaten by sharks or would die of salt water poisoning by drinking seawater (which also caused some of those injured to die from infectious wounds). Others swam off from their groups after hallucinating of a non-existent island, never to be seen again. On the 5th day, the surviving crew were rescued by an airplane pilot who spotted them by chance and called for a rescue. Only 316 survived the disaster.USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage 2016 full Movie Download.

Looking for a scapegoat for their own gross negligence, the US Navy court-martials and convicts Captain McVay for “hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag”, despite overwhelming evidence supporting McVay (such as even having the former captain of the IJN’s I-58 submarine to testify for the trial, which proved McVay to be not at fault). It ends with Captain McVay finally committing suicide years after the tragedy after being harassed and tormented with phone calls and mail from angry and grief-stricken relatives of the deceased crew-members, as well as the media (mostly in the form of newspapers, which placed the blame on him for the ship’s sinking). In the movie’s postscript they show President Bill Clinton exonerating Captain McVay of all charges on October 30, 2000.
