“Greyhound” is another must-see war drama available for streaming. This gripping World War II epic stars Tom Hanks as Captain Ernest Krause, a U.S. Navy officer tasked with leading a 37-ship Allied convoy across the North Atlantic. The convoy faces relentless attacks from German U-boats, forcing Krause to overcome the pressures of intense combat, limited resources, and leadership in one of the most harrowing battles of the war.
Based on the 1955 novel “The Good Shepherd” by C.S. Forester, “Greyhound” is one of the few films that realistically depicts the tensions of wartime leadership and naval combat. It also focuses on Klaus' ability to make quick decisions under pressure as he must do everything in his power to protect the convoy.
