Trailer for "The Guardian"
- Thread starter HercDriver
- Start date
We had a crewman (now a pilot) in my LAMPS squadron that was in the water for >10 hours during a rescue in the Med. He got some kind of big shot medal, deservedly so.

While that was a good movie, I am more interested in something that takes place post Cold War....and no Tom Clancy "hit the torpedo destroy button from the TAO chair" kind of stuff.
And the med is WARM (comparatively so, anyhow). Of course there are all kinds of nasties in warm water...
I'm guessing he had to rescue several people....maybe from a sailboat?
I think it involved a larger vessel of some sort (which sunk), but I don't know all the details.

There already is a SWO movie...
...and it, too starred Kevin Costner. It was called "No Way Out" and in the beginning of the film during a terrible storm his character (A LCDR!) goes out on the forecastle and rescues a crewman from going overboard. And he hooked up with a very hot chick in the back of a limo...and was a Soviet spy. Not sure which part is the most far-fetched.
"Men of Honor": Cuba Gooding's character breaks the color barrier and overcomes disabilities to become a Navy hardhat diver.
"Officer and a Gentlemen": Richard Gere's character works through personal demons to finish the rigors of Navy flight school and find love with local working class chick Debra Winger.
"Top Gun": Tom Cruise's F-14 pilot learns teamwork while at the Top Gun school in Miramar while trying to hook up with hot instructor Kelly McGillis (sp?), and take lots of showers.
Yep, all of these movies are exactly like "The Guardian" in that they involve the US military and...and...and...

The Med has a decent population of Great White sharks too. Mmmmm.
Yeah, really ... plus, like anything else .... it goes better w/limes.Hopefully, there won't be any urine drinking in the opening scene.
Brett
Nooooo not in the least. The Great White ranges around the entire temperate zone of the oceans. I still remember a 16 footer that was caught off Massachusetts, about 5-10 miles out. I have the picture saved, it was like 10 years ago.
The Med has had a decent amount of Great White attacks, especially along Italy's shores.
It's "more prominent" because surfers are morons and surf on beaches infested with seals... a popular tasty snack for Great Whites. Don't swim where sharks eat.
