Only four years after the disastrous 1492: Conquest of Paradise (a film that would have destroyed a lesser director's career), Ridley Scott was back in nautical territory with White Squall, a semi-successful, fact - based survival / courtroom drama that featured a sizable collection of up - and - coming actors, including Scott

leader of a sailing trip threatened by the «white squall» (a sudden, violent windstorm) of the title.

leader of the
Wolves, the menacing group we've
only begun to see introduced as a threat to Rick and co..
