Men of Honor Movie
The true-life military drama focuses upon two "men of honor", Carl Brashear (Cuba Gooding Jr.), the first African-American deep-sea diver, and Leslie W. Sunday (Robert De Niro), the training officer. In the 1940s, Brashear managed to overcome racism and become a Navy student. But he was the main enemy of other students and Leslie William "Billy" Sunday, the Leading Chief Petty Officer and head instructor. However, he had enough grit to hold out in the face of mental and physical challenges. He successfully graduated from the diving school and began to serve in the Navy. Years later, after having lost half his left leg in the atomic bomb incident, he continued to dive and his old enemy Billy Sunday unexpectedly became his guardian angel...
