NYC PREMIERE In 1982, a whale collided with Steven Callahan’s single man sailboat, Napoleon Solo, leaving him stranded on a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean. This first-person account, from executive producer Ang Lee, based on a New York Times bestseller, details Callahan’s life alone at sea for nearly three harrowing months. Forced to reckon with the consequences of his choices, facing the dangers of the open ocean, he pushes forward in hopes of a rescue. - Brandon Harrison
