LIGHTSHIP

Details

• Release Year: 1985
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Lightships — stationary vessels that serve as offshore lighthouses — were once a common feature of the American coasts. In THE LIGHTSHIP, director Jerzy Skolimowski takes us into the storm-tossed, suffocatingly close world of a lightship to witness the age-old struggle of good and evil in a uniquely nightmarish setting. The ship's captain, Klaus Maria Brandauer, must somehow protect his men and his rebellious son against an invading gang led by a man who is as cunning as he is without scruples (Robert Duvall). Filmed on an actual lightship meticulously restored to evoke a now bygone way of life, THE LIGHTSHIP is a powerful and realistically vivid drama of one man's struggle against the powers of darkness. ;
