Survivors from a crashed aircraft including a commodore holding top secret information (Redgrave) are adrift in the North Sea in a small dinghy. There only hope is the Air Sea Rescue service and Anthony Steele and his crew of likely British character actors set out to find them.
Enjoyable enough adventure which is at its best when focussing on the crew of the rescue boat, whilst the more intense dinghy, will they, won't they scenes are a little dull and repetitive. It's a solid British cast of familiar faces all nicely type cast as frightfully stiff upper lip upper or 'cor blimey guvnor' lower classes facing every conceivable mishap on the way, helped especially by Nigel Patrick, spot on as the tough but likeable flight sergeant and Anthony Steele as the man in charge.
