First Poster For USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage Released

Hannibal Classics has released the first official poster for the Nicholas Cage starrer USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. The movie is based on the true events that took place during the sinking of WWII’s USS Indianapolis. The movie is directed by Mario Van Peebles.

The poster shows Nicholas Cage in uniform, as the Captain of the ship. The USS Indianapolis was supposed to deliver the atomic bombs but it was attacked by the Japanese soldiers. The ship sank, taking with it, 300 out of the 1196 crewmen. The rest were stranded in the middle of the ocean with no food, protection from sharks and no hope of rescue, initially. Only 317 men were rescued by the end.

Rionda Del Castro and Michael Mendelsohn will be producing USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. Along with Nicholas, the cast includes Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane, Matt Lanter, Brian Presley and Cody Walker. The movie will be released worldwide next year.
