Movie description:
There’s only one thing 14-year-old Snook Pascoe wants: to become a fisherman just like his dad. But when his father takes him on his first trip to fish for tuna, almost everything goes wrong and Pascoe is convinced his son doesn’t have what it takes to become a fisherman.
Later, Pascoe is short on crew members and he is forced to take Snook on for another fishing trip.
While they are at sea their boat, called »Blue Fin«, is destroyed by a cyclone, the crew members are lost at sea and Snook’s dad is badly wounded. Snook, now on his own, has to face the challenge to keep »Blue Fin« afloat and to bring him and his father safely home.
