Simply put, it's one of the best black man vs. white supremacist films I've ever seen.
Denzel Washington's character—Harvard educated, intelligent, strong, with a beautiful united black family. He doesn't back down from the white supremacist and ends up being right.
His nemesis—Gene Hackman—a single, lonely white supremacist lunatic/warmonger with bloodlust, who ends up being wrong in the end despite the deification of his character by the other men on the boat.
This is a movie that should be shown in classrooms all over America...it shows how white supremacists try and enforce their will despite logic and law. And how a powerful Black Man stopped a nuclear war from starting.
