76 Days Adrift

From Executive Producer Ang Lee comes 76 Days Adrift, a profoundly immersive documentary based on Steven Callahan’s New York Times bestseller Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea. Callahan recounts the night of February 4, 1982, when a catastrophic collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the dead of night. With the Atlantic Ocean surging into his vessel, he had only moments to grab what he could before launching himself into the dark, unforgiving sea in a life raft, clutching only a basic emergency kit. For an astonishing 76 days, that fragile inflatable raft became Steven’s entire world as he drifted helplessly across the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Forced to confront his deepest fears, limitations, and the raw power of nature, he discovered an inner strength he never knew he possessed. Directed by Joe Wein and set to a haunting score by Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump, 76 Days Adrift is more than a riveting survival story. Told with the tension and immediacy of a thriller, it is a powerful meditation on human endurance, resilience, and the profound connection between man and nature.
