Men Of Honor 2000
Directed by George Tillman Jr. | Starring: Robert De Niro, Charlize Theron, Cuba Gooding Jr., Powers Boothe
Against formidable odds -- and an old-school diving instructor embittered by the U.S. Navy's new, less prejudicial policies -- Carl Brashear sets his sights on becoming the Navy's first African-American master diver in this uplifting true story. Their relationship starts out on the rocks, but fate ultimately conspires to bring the men together into a setting of mutual respect, triumph and honor.
