Whether on land or by sea, Tom Hanks is Hollywood’s embodiment of the all-American hero. \u201cGreyhound\u201d continues that winning trend, albeit in a more subdued fashion.

While Hanks\u2019 name is at the top of the marquee, and he even serves as the film\u2019s screenwriter, the combined forces are the true heroes of \u201cGreyhound.” These forces, British, Canadian, American, and possibly other countries, bravely traverse the dangerous Atlantic bringing troops and supplies to Europe during World War II. This early effort, the Battle of the Atlantic, was critical to Allied success.

\u201cGreyhound\u201d tracks Captain Krause (Hanks) on his first combat command. His destroyer, named the Greyhound, is tasked with escorting and protecting a large convoy. The fleet includes cargo, tanker, and passenger ships that carry needed men and munitions.

In a flashback, Krause meets with his girlfriend, Evelyn (Elisabeth Shue). He explains that he\u2019s being shipped out and asks Evelyn to join him so that they can marry in a tropical location. She demurs. It\u2019s not that she does not love him, but the timing isn\u2019t right.

It\u2019s this denial that Krause carries with him into the choppy, chilly Atlantic waters. Lurking stealthily under the sea are several German u-boats charged with sinking the fleet. And Krause\u2019s ship is armed and ready to join in the floating battle.
