Watch The Intense Film Trailer To The New Nicholas Cage Movie Filmed On Board USS Alabama

The “USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage.” is new WWII movie starring Nicholas Cage that was filmed on the USS Alabama. 

The first trailer has been released in an upcoming film that documents the inspiring true story of the crewmen on board the USS Indianapolis.

Yellow Hammer writer, Mitchell Kilpatrick writes:

'Towards the end of World War II, a Japanese submarine torpedoed the USS Indianapolis just after it secretly delivered one of two atomic bombs that would bring an end to the Pacific theater of the war. The sailors’ mission was so classified that their ship was not reported missing, since no one knew they had been attacked until four days later. 300 of the 1,196 crewmen died with the ship, while the survivors were stranded in the shark-infested waters of the Philippine Sea. The crew endured hunger, thirst, heat, and relentless shark attacks. Five days later only 317 men survived and eventually were rescued.'

One of the film's main character goes by the name of 'Bama who is portrayed by actor Matt Latner whose grandfather is one of the USS Indianapolis survivors.

The film is expected to open on Memorial Day weekend.
