Deadliest Sea is a 2009 Canadian made-for-television film directed by T. J. Scott. It is about the crew of the Kodiak, Alaska-based scallop fishing vessel St. Christopher. It was produced by the producers of the popular Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch, and originally aired on the Discovery Channel on July 19, 2009. While the film itself is a fictionalized account, according to a title-card at the beginning it is based on a true story.

Discovery's description of the film called it "a thrilling tale of struggle and survival in the fierce open sea."[1]

Plot

The movie depicts the tale of a young guy who, in search of a genuine job, joins the crew of an Alaskan King Crab trawler. The ship's captain makes an educated guess about where to plant traps in the Bering Sea, but soon the boat and its crew become victims of a strong and persistent storm that turns the icy sea into a death trap in the middle of the night. The guys struggle desperately to survive as the fatal vessel collapses in the face of the harsh weather.[2]
