About This Movie

Captains Courageous is a 1937 adventure and drama film directed by Victor Fleming. Its leading cast includes Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy and Lionel Barrymore. It runs for 1 hour 55 minutes.

Synopsis

Harvey, the arrogant and spoiled son of an indulgent absentee-father, falls overboard from a transatlantic steamship and is rescued by a fishing vessel on the Grand Banks. Harvey fails to persuade them to take him ashore, nor convince the crew of his wealth. The captain offers him a low-paid job, until they return to port, as part of the crew that turns him into a mature, considerate young man.
