When a ship of Americans and Britons is sunk by a missile from a German U-Boat during WWII, the survivors must cope with the elements - and each other. Unfortunately, they know nothing about navigation or survival at sea, and quickly begin to turn on each other. So when they pull the Nazi U-Boat Captain out of the sea they have no choice but to trust his superior survival skills, even though the course he is steering is back to his boat, and he is taking them as prisoners of war.

Critics Consensus: Hitchcock proves he can wring suspense from the most confined of settings aboard a raft teeming with vivid personalities in this maritime thriller.

Reviews

Solzy at the Movies

Danielle Solzman

Beyond the characters, this is a very challenging film from both a directing and cinematography standpoint.

Intense poker, lipstick, and flirtations increase as beards grow and tables turn amid storms, hunger, delirium, and suspicion in a no win situation that remains gripping from beginning to end.

Lifeboat is like roast beef without gravy, and whoever does not get enthusiastic about the movie will be bored to death.

There are many reasons to watch Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, but chief among them is the opportunity to catch a rare film appearance by Tallulah Bankhead.

Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles)

Virginia Wright

The sure hand of director Alfred Hitchcock (notable particularly in the undercurrent of background conversations) has managed to keep a surprisingly light touch in the midst of dramatic excitement and pathos.
