15. Final Journey (1960)

Robert Redford provides a mature exemplary performance in solo performance as a individual struggling to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the main setting, is damaged in a impact with an stray cargo box. It's anxious enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to film.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The main star delivers excellent performance in one of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the captain of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on actual incidents.
