Watch: Pine, Affleck, Bana drenched in 'The Finest Hours' trailer

Two battered oil tankers lurch in a ferocious storm as their crew realize they have just three hours to live in "The Finest Hours."

Based on the 1952 true story of the the SS Pendleton and SS Fort Mercer, a new two-minute trailer for "The Finest Hours" soon erases any notion of "every man for himself."

Rather, after a lifeboat is intentionally destroyed, either everyone survives together or no one does.

Meanwhile, a rescue mission is dispatched into the crashing waves, as even the lifeguards start to believe there's no way back.

Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster and Eric Bana star in an ensemble cast for the January 2016 film.

Craig Gillespie of Oscar-nominated cult comedy "Lars and the Real Girl" and MLB biopic "Million Dollar Arm" directs an adaptation of Casey Sherman's nonfiction account.
