Looking for a scapegoat for their own gross negligence, the US Navy court-martials and convicts Captain McVay for "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag ", despite overwhelming evidence supporting McVay such as even having the former captain of the IJN's I submarine to testify for the trial, which proved McVay to be not at fault.
It ends with Captain McVay finally committing suicide years after the tragedy after being harassed and tormented with phone calls and mail from angry and grief-stricken relatives of the deceased crew-members, as well as the media mostly in the form of newspapers, which placed the blame on him for the ship's sinking.
In a subplot , two childhood friends, Indianapolis diver Brian "Bama" Smithwick and crew member Mike D'Antonio, fall in love with the same woman without the other knowing.
D'Antonio purchases an engagement ring before the trip to Tinian to propose to the girl who tells D'Antonio before the trip that she is expecting their first child.
During a brawl involving two of the crewmen, D'Antonio loses the ring and one of the crew members, Alvin, steals it. After the ship is destroyed, Smithwick and D'Antonio spend the next few days in the sea with the rest of the crew where D'Antonio succumbs to massive leg injuries received in a shark attack and Smithwick is given the engagement ring by Alvin.
While the credits roll, two Navy sailors recount the sharks in the waters and real rescue footage is shown along with many still shots of lost sailors.
Near the end of World War II , when the ship was returning from Tinian after delivering important parts for an atomic bomb , it was torpedoed by I The focus of the film is on the bravery of the crewmen aboard Indianapolis.
The US Navy helped with the completion and finalization of the last draft of the script. Furthermore, Lanter's father, Joe Lanter, is a chairman of Second Watch, an organization of survivors and their families.
Joe Lanter and his co-chair, Maria Bullard, stayed in contact with the producers during pre-production and were welcomed to the set during photography.
On June 27, , filming was underway in Orange Beach. On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 30 out of , based on 8 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter referred to the movie as "slapdash", and called the special effects "garish and unconvincing"; the movie's sharks he thought were " Sharknado -style".
His consensus was the film was "not exactly unwatchable", but also "completely not worthy of watching", with its "lazy inattention to period detail", summing it up as "two-hours plus of bumbling and pandering".
He called the characters' storylines away from the main plot "flimsy" and the special effects "rickety", and noted that the film's "leaden" treatment of the central story "suck[ed] all the drama out of it".
Experts on the sinking have portrayed this movie as a fatally flawed representation of the actual events. Details large and small were wrong, from fictitious crewmembers involved in melodramatic relationships that have nothing to do with the actual history, even to which side of the ship the torpedoes impacted the movie erroneously shows the torpedoes hitting the port side.
As a result, it has been held in very low regard by USS Indianapolis survivors and experts. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Release date.

Akagane Maru exploded and sank with all hands. Through mid, Indianapolis remained near the Aleutian Islands, escorting American convoys and providing shore bombardments supporting amphibious assaults.
Allied landings there began on 15 August, but the Japanese had already abandoned the Aleutian Islands, unbeknownst to the Allies.
Spruance , commanding the 5th Fleet. The ship then returned to Tarawa as fire-support for the landings. Her guns shot down an enemy plane and shelled enemy strongpoints as landing parties fought Japanese defenders in the Battle of Tarawa.
She continued this role until the island was secure three days later. The conquest of the Marshall Islands followed victory in the Gilberts.
Indianapolis was again 5th Fleet flagship. The cruiser met other ships of her task force at Tarawa, and on D-Day minus 1, 31 January , she was one of the cruisers that bombarded the islands of Kwajalein Atoll.
The shelling continued on D-Day, with Indianapolis suppressing two enemy shore batteries. Next day, she destroyed a blockhouse and other shore installations and supported advancing troops with a creeping barrage.
The ship entered Kwajalein Lagoon, on 4 February, and remained until resistance disappeared see Battle of Kwajalein.
Carrier planes at the Palau Islands on 30—31 March, sank three destroyers, 17 freighters, five oilers and damaged 17 other ships. Airfields were bombed and surrounding water mined.
Yap and Ulithi were struck on 31 March, and Woleai on 1 April. Japanese planes attacked but were driven off without damaging the American ships.
Indianapolis shot down her second plane, a torpedo bomber, and the Japanese lost planes, including 46 on the ground.
These attacks prevented Japanese forces stationed in the Carolines from interfering with the US landings on New Guinea. In June, the 5th Fleet was busy with the assault on the Mariana Islands.
Raids on Saipan began with carrier-based planes on 11 June, followed by surface bombardment, in which Indianapolis had a major role, from 13 June see Battle of Saipan.
On D-Day, 15 June, Admiral Spruance heard that battleships , carriers, cruisers, and destroyers were headed south to relieve threatened garrisons in the Marianas.
Since amphibious operations at Saipan had to be protected, Spruance could not withdraw too far. Consequently, a fast carrier force was sent to meet this threat while another force attacked Japanese air bases on Iwo Jima and Chichi Jima , in the Bonin and Volcano Islands , bases for potential enemy air attacks.
Japanese carrier planes, which planned to use the airfields of Guam and Tinian to refuel and rearm, were met by carrier planes and the guns of the Allied escorting ships.
That day, the US Navy destroyed a reported Japanese planes while losing This day of aerial combat became known as the "Marianas Turkey Shoot".
Indianapolis returned to Saipan on 23 June to resume fire support and six days later moved to Tinian to attack shore installations see Battle of Tinian.
Meanwhile, Guam had been taken, and Indianapolis became the first ship to enter Apra Harbor since early in the war.
The ship operated in the Marianas for the next few weeks, then moved to the Western Carolines, where further landings were planned. From 12 to 29 September, she bombarded Peleliu , in the Palau Group , before and after the landings see Battle of Peleliu.
She then sailed to Manus Island , in the Admiralty Islands , where she operated for 10 days before returning to the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in California for refitting.
Mitscher 's fast carrier task force on 14 February Two days later, the task force launched an attack on Tokyo to cover the landings on Iwo Jima, scheduled for 19 February.
This was the first carrier attack on mainland Japan since the Doolittle Raid. The mission was to destroy Japanese air facilities and other installations in the Home Islands.
The fleet achieved complete tactical surprise by approaching the Japanese coast under cover of bad weather.
The attacks were pressed home for two days. The task force also sank a carrier, nine coastal ships, a destroyer, two destroyer escorts , and a cargo ship.
They destroyed hangars, shops, aircraft installations, factories, and other industrial targets. Immediately after the strikes, the task force raced to the Bonin Islands to support the landings on Iwo Jima.
The ship remained there until 1 March, protecting the invasion ships and bombarding targets in support of the landings. Although weather was extremely bad, the American force destroyed planes and sank five small ships while pounding ground installations and destroying trains.
The next target for the US forces was Okinawa , in the Ryukyu Islands , which were in range of aircraft from the Japanese mainland.
The fast carrier force was tasked with attacking airfields in southern Japan until they were incapable of launching effective airborne opposition to the impending invasion.
The fast carrier force departed for Japan from Ulithi on 14 March. The Japanese located the American task force on 21 March, sending 48 planes to attack the ships.
Twenty-four fighters from the task force intercepted and shot down all the Japanese aircraft. When TF 54 began pre-invasion bombardment of Okinawa on 24 March, Indianapolis spent 7 days pouring 8-inch shells into the beach defenses.
During this time, enemy aircraft repeatedly attacked the American ships. Indianapolis shot down six planes and damaged two others.
On 31 March, the day before the Tenth Army combined U. Army and U. Marine Corps started its assault landings, the Indianapolis lookouts spotted a Japanese Nakajima Ki "Oscar" fighter as it emerged from the morning twilight and dived vertically towards the bridge.
The bomb plummeted through the deck, into the crew's mess hall , down through the berthing compartment, and through the fuel tanks before crashing through the keel and exploding in the water underneath.
The concussion blew two gaping holes in the keel which flooded nearby compartments, killing nine crewmen.
The ship's bulkheads prevented any progressive flooding. Indianapolis , settling slightly by the stern and listing to port, steamed to a salvage ship for emergency repairs.
Here, inspection revealed that her propeller shafts were damaged, her fuel tanks ruptured, and her water-distilling equipment ruined.
But Indianapolis commenced the long trip across the Pacific, under her own power, to the Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs.
After major repairs and an overhaul, Indianapolis received orders to undertake a top-secret mission of the utmost significance to national security: to proceed to Tinian island carrying the enriched uranium [16] about half of the world's supply of uranium at the time and other parts required for the assembly of the atomic bomb codenamed " Little Boy ", which would be dropped on Hiroshima a few weeks later.
Arriving at Pearl Harbor on 19 July, [19] she raced on unaccompanied, [20] delivering the atomic bomb components to Tinian on 26 July.
Indianapolis was then sent to Guam, where a number of the crew who had completed their tours of duty were relieved by other sailors. Leaving Guam on 28 July, she began sailing toward Leyte , where her crew was to receive training before continuing on to Okinawa to join Vice Admiral Jesse B.
Oldendorf 's Task Force At on 30 July, Indianapolis was struck on her starboard side by two Type 95 torpedoes , one in the bow and one amidships, from the Japanese submarine I , [20] captained by Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto , who initially thought he had spotted the New Mexico -class battleship Idaho.
Indianapolis took on a heavy list the ship had had a great deal of armament and gun-firing directors added as the war went on, and was therefore top-heavy [23] and settled by the bow.
Twelve minutes later, she rolled completely over, then her stern rose into the air and she sank. Some of the 1, crewmen aboard went down with the ship.
Navy command did not know of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted in the open ocean three and a half days later. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once.
Marks and his flight crew spotted the survivors and dropped life rafts; one raft was destroyed by the drop while others were too far away from the exhausted crew.
Against standing orders not to land in open ocean, Marks took a vote of his crew and decided to land the aircraft in twelve-foot 3.
He was able to maneuver his craft to pick up 56 survivors. Space in the plane was limited, so Marks had men lashed to the wing with parachute cord.
His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable. Doyle , the first of seven rescue ships, used its search light as a beacon and instilled hope in those still in the water.
Cecil J. Doyle and six other ships picked up the remaining survivors. After the rescue, Marks' plane was sunk by Cecil J.
Doyle as it could not be recovered. Many of the survivors were injured, and all suffered from lack of food and water leading to dehydration and hypernatremia ; some found rations , such as Spam and crackers , among the debris of the Indianapolis , exposure to the elements dehydration from the hot sun during the day and hypothermia at night, as well as severe desquamation due to continued exposure to salt water and bunker oil , and shark attacks , while some killed themselves or other survivors in various states of delirium and hallucinations.
Tiger sharks may also have killed some sailors. The Headquarters of Commander Marianas on Guam and of the Commander Philippine Sea Frontier on Leyte kept Operations plotting boards on which were plotted the positions of all vessels with which the headquarters were concerned.
However, it was assumed that ships as large as Indianapolis would reach their destinations on time, unless reported otherwise. Therefore, their positions were based on predictions and not on reports.
On 31 July, when she should have arrived at Leyte, Indianapolis was removed from the board in the headquarters of Commander Marianas.
She was also recorded as having arrived at Leyte by the headquarters of Commander Philippine Sea Frontier. Lieutenant Stuart B. Gibson, the operations officer under the Port Director, Tacloban, was the officer responsible for tracking the movements of Indianapolis.
The vessel's failure to arrive on schedule was known at once to Gibson, who failed to investigate the matter and made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors.
Gibson received a letter of reprimand in connection with the incident. The acting commander and operations officer of the Philippine Sea Frontier also received reprimands, while Gibson's immediate superior received a letter of admonition.
In the first official statement, the Navy said that distress calls "were keyed by radio operators and possibly were actually transmitted" but that "no evidence has been developed that any distress message from the ship was received by any ship, aircraft or shore station".
One commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him, and a third thought it was a Japanese trap. When the ship failed to reach Leyte on 31 July, as scheduled, no report was made that she was overdue.
This omission was due to a misunderstanding of the Movement Report System. Captain Charles B. McVay III , who had commanded Indianapolis since November through several battles, survived the sinking, though he was one of the last to abandon ship, and was among those rescued days later.
In November , he was court-martialed on two charges: failing to order his men to abandon ship and hazarding the ship.
Cleared of the charge of failing to order abandon ship, McVay was convicted of "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag ".
Several aspects of the court-martial were controversial. There was evidence that the Navy itself had placed the ship in harm's way. McVay's orders were to "zigzag at his discretion, weather permitting"; however, McVay was not informed that a Japanese submarine was operating in the vicinity of his route from Guam to Leyte.
Further, Mochitsura Hashimoto , commander of I , testified that zigzagging would have made no difference.
McVay retired in as a rear admiral. While many of Indianapolis 's survivors said McVay was not to blame for the sinking, the families of some of the men who died thought otherwise: "Merry Christmas!
Our family's holiday would be a lot merrier if you hadn't killed my son", read one piece of mail. McVay was discovered on his front lawn by his gardener with a toy sailor in one hand, revolver in the other.
In , sixth-grade student Hunter Scott began his research on the sinking of Indianapolis for a class history project. Scott's effort led to an increase in national publicity, which got the attention of retired Congressional lobbyist Michael Monroney, who had been scheduled to be assigned to Indianapolis before she shipped out on her final voyage.
Around the same time, Captain William J. Toti then demonstrated through analysis that the tactic of zigzagging would not have spared the Indy from at least one torpedo hit by the I The hearings were reported to sway Senator Warner into allowing a " Sense of Congress " resolution clearing Captain McVay's name to be passed to full Congress for a vote.
In October , the United States Congress passed a resolution that Captain McVay's record should state that "he is exonerated for the loss of Indianapolis ".
President Bill Clinton also signed the resolution. Commanders of USS Indianapolis : [41]. The wreck of Indianapolis is in the Philippine Sea.
Four Indianapolis survivors accompanied the expedition, which was not successful. In June , a second expedition was mounted to find the wreck.
National Geographic covered the story and released it in July. Submersibles were launched to find any sign of wreckage, although they only located pieces of metal that were not proven conclusively to be from the ship.
In July , new information came out regarding the possible location of Indianapolis when naval records were discovered indicating that the Tank Landing Ship LST recorded passing by Indianapolis 11 hours before the torpedoes struck.
This information allowed researchers to determine that Indianapolis had been moving faster and was therefore further west than previously assumed, as well as slightly off the route taken.
Using this information, National Geographic planned to mount an expedition to search for the wreck in the summer of The wreck is well-preserved due to the great depth at which Indianapolis rests, among the rocky mountain ranges of the North Philippine Sea.
In September , a map detailing the wreckage was released. The main part of the wreck lies in an enormous impact crater; her bow, which broke off before the ship sank, lies 1.
The two forward 8-inch guns, which also broke off on the surface and mark the ship's last position on the surface, lie 0. The bridge, which broke off the ship due to the torpedoes, lies in a debris field near the forward guns.
The single 8-inch gun turret on the stern remains in place, though the stern's roof collapsed over itself. Airplane wreckage from the ship lies about 0.
Since , surviving crew members have been meeting for reunions in Indianapolis. Fourteen of the 32 remaining survivors attended the 70th reunion, held 23—26 July The reunions are open to anyone interested, and have more attendees each year, even as death leaves fewer survivors.
Held only sporadically at first, then biannually, the reunions were later held annually. Every year, the survivors, by most of them in their nineties, vote whether to continue.
It is located on the Canal Walk in Indianapolis. The crewmembers' names are listed on the monument, with special notations for those who lost their lives.
