Details

The Sea Chase (1955) is set against the backdrop of World War II. Captain Karl Ehrlich, a German freighter captain who is secretly anti-Nazi, is preparing to depart from Sydney, Australia aboard his ship, the Ergenstrasse. As he sets sail, he is determined to outwit the British warship that is pursuing him.

On board the Ergenstrasse is Elsa Keller, a woman whom Ehrlich has been ordered to safely transport back to Germany, along with any valuable secrets she may be carrying. However, tensions rise when Ehrlich's loyal but fiercely Nazi chief officer, Kirchner, commits a heinous act that escalates the British pursuit into a deadly game.

The Sea Chase explores Ehrlich's struggle to navigate treacherous waters, both literally and metaphorically. As a proud German, he is torn between his duty as a captain and his opposition to the Nazi regime. Will Ehrlich be able to outrun his pursuers and protect Elsa with her secrets, or will his loyalty and courage be put to the ultimate test?

This gripping wartime drama captivates viewers with its high stakes and complex characters. The Sea Chase is a thrilling adventure that delves into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals during times of war.
