Based on the true 1940 rescue of the British tanker MV San Demetrio, whose crew abandoned the ship after the German cruiser Admiral Scheer set it ablaze in the Atlantic. A lifeboat returned, re‑boarded the still‑intact vessel, extinguished the fires, restarted the engine and attempted the perilous voyage back to Britain.
