All Is Lost (2013)

The unnamed taciturn captain (Robert Redford) of a yacht damaged by an errant cargo container labors to keep his vessel afloat in the Indian Ocean. Further battered by sea and storm, the vessel is stripped of vital supplies in each successive crisis, and the lone sailor is forced to rely on dwindling rations and his ability to jury-rig items MacGyver-style for his very survival. Using an antique sextant, he methodically charts a course for the Sumatra Straits, where he hopes he’ll come to the attention of one of the many massive cargo ships ferrying their containers of goods to the Western world.
