Robert InchDutchInch Holland (Stewart), a successful player for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, finds his inactive duty status with the U.S. Air Force suddenly active. When Holland, originally tasked with a staff job, is promoted to commanding a B-36 bomber crew, his attempts to balance domestic life with Sally (Allyson as his devoted wife) and service to God and country will test not only his marriage, but also his sense of self. Equally impressive is the supporting cast that includes Frank Lovejoy (Try and Get Me), Barry Sullivan (The Bad and the Beautiful), Henry Morgan (High Noon), Jay C. Flippen (The Killing), James Bell (Holiday Inn) and Rosemary DeCamp (Yankee Doodle Dandy).

In August of 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk was on maneuvers in the Barents Sea when a torpedo malfunction ripped open the hull, sinking the vessel and killing the bulk of the crew. The harrowing fate of the few survivors waiting for a rescue that never came-and of which their government waved off international offers of assistance-is memorably depicted here. Matthias Schoenaerts, Léa Seydoux, Michael Nyqvist, August Diehl, Max von Sydow, and Colin Firth star. AKA InchKursk.Inch 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set
