Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford)
wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a
shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation
equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of
a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his
mariner's intuition and a strength that belies his age, the man barely
survives the tempest. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart
his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a
shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun
unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the
ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the
face.
