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.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Captains Courageous' is a classic coming-of-age drama centered on a boy learning responsibility while fishing on the Grand Banks. There is absolutely no mention of Christmas setting, plot points, iconography, or thematic connections within the core narrative described."
