Details

• Release Year: 1996
• Genre: Adventure, Drama, Family
• Plot: On a luxury liner bound for England in 1932, Harvey Cheyne Jr. (Kenny Vadas), the spoiled orphan son of an American railway tycoon, is on his way to a prestigious boarding school with his guardian Arthur Wade (Robert Wisden). Imperious with Wade and the crew, the obnoxious show-off wreaks chaos by masterminding a stunt that brings the ship to a complete halt. Unrepentant, Harvey shrugs off all reprimands, continuing to dole out threats and orders to the displeased officers and to Wade. Heedless of the growing contempt he attracts, Harvey invites himself to gamble with the stewards, who barely contain their hostility towards him. During the card game, Harvey's arrogance provokes one of the stewards to offer him a ciger, knowing it will make him sick. Overwhelmed by nausea, Harvey rushes to the rail and, losing his balance, tumbles overboard. The liner sails resolutely on. Rescued by the crew of the fishing schooner We're Here, Harvey meets his match in the ship's dauntless captain Matt Troop (Robert Urich). After an ungrateful display of petulance, bribery, and demands to be returned immediately to New York, Harvey soon realizes Captain Troop cannot be bought and that he is stuck with the crew, and they with him, until the ship returns to port in three months time.
