From Don Siegel, the legendary director of “Dirty Harry”, “Charley Varrick” and “Escape from Alcatraz” comes this action-packed adventure-yarn about Florida gun-smuggling during the Cuban Revolution.
In order to pay off debts, fishing boat skipper Sam Martin (Audie Murphy) rents his boat to a ruthless gun merchant (Eddie Albert) who sells his illegal arms to a revolutionary group in Cuba. Soon Sam finds himself in deep water as the tension is ratcheted up in this sea-faring thriller, based on the classic Ernest Hemingway novel “To Have and Have Not”. Audie at his best!
“A man can't turn bad if it ain't in him to be bad. And it ain't in you, Sam.”
