Defiant's crew is part of a fleet-wide movement to present a petition of grievances to the Admiralty. Violence must be no part of it. The continual sadism of Defiant's first officer makes this difficult, and when the captain is disabled, the chance for violence increases.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut naval drama where oppressed sailors chafe under a sadistic officer while attempting a disciplined mutiny. Tension mounts as restraint becomes harder to maintain when authority fractures.
