In October 1991, the commercial fishing boat Andrea Gail returns to port in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It has returned with a very poor catch. Desperate for money, Captain Billy Tyne (George Clooney) in the film convinces the Andrea Gail crew to join him for one more late season fishing expedition. Each fishing expedition in this instance and the place where the 2000 film "The Perfect Storm" was shot takes place in Gloucester, MA.

It is clear in the film that veteran fisherman Billy Tyne has had a run of very disappointing catches. Thus he is determined to change his luck by going beyond the normal reach of New England fishing boats. He decides to go to the remote Flemish Cap. By taking this action, he risks everything. Once at sea, he hears about a huge storm building up, but he is convinced he will beat it back to Gloucester with an enormous catch.

Mark Wahlberg and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio co-star in the movie. They help to provide romance and suspense while dealing with a huge killer wave.
