Based on a true story, The Heroes follows one of the most extraordinary and heroic exploits of World War II. After months of rigorous training in the north of Australia, a team of 14 men, most barely out of their teens, set sail from Cairns on board a leaky old fishing boat called 'The Krait'. Their mission, code-named Operation Jaywick, became a tense voyage through thousands of kilometres of Japanese held territory to launch a daring attack on Singapore Harbour.

Зов предков
Writer
1896 год. Юконская золотая лихорадка в самом разгаре, и потому цены на собак, незаменимых при перевозке грузов в снежном безмолвии Севера, неимоверно подскочили. Из-за собак совершаются преступления. Впервые познает здесь "закон кнута и клыка" холеный красавец Бэк, похищенный из солнечной Калифорнии. Умный пес наблюдает, запоминает жестокие уроки, учится быть сильным. Судьба сводит его с Торнтоном, человеком мужественным и честным, и Бэк признает в нем Хозяина и Друга. Взаимопонимание, привязанность человека и собаки, их взаимопомощь в условиях, где правит закон Силы, состовляют основную мысль фильма, насыщенного сценами столкновения сильных характеров, Добра и Зла, опасностей, предательства, поисков таинственного золота индейцев.
