On February 4, 1982, a whale collided with Steven Callahan's boat when he was just days into a solo voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. He was forced to abandon ship, without food or water, and spent more than two and a half months drifting over 1,800 miles in an inflatable raft. A tale of survival, invention, resilience, and seamanship, this gripping film is based on Callahan’s New York Times bestselling book, Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea, and brings his remarkable experience to life by interweaving found 8mm footage with first-person recreation as he takes us, moment by harrowing moment, through his life-altering adventure.

“A gem of a ripping tale and a great example of human persistence in extreme circumstances.” – Bradley Gibson, Film Threat
