Full Plot Details

In 1939, Germany's Hamburg-America Line announced a voyage from Germany to Cuba. 937 people, the vast majority being Jews, signed up for the opportunity to escape Nazi Germany. Unbeknownst to the passengers, the visas they purchased were from a corrupt Cuban director of immigration, and they were invalid. Upon arrival in Havana, only 28 people were allowed to disembark, while the rest remained on board for weeks as they sailed to Florida, and eventually Canada, searching for safe haven. Sadly the ship returned to Antwerp after more than a month at sea. Forced back under Nazi rule as the low countries fell, it is estimated that approximately 250 of the refugees died in the extermination camps in occupied Poland.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyToo bad that Voyage of the Damned is done as an all-star, cheap melodrama, fictionlaizing a riveting WWII-Holocaust story
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonIf anyone emerges as first among equals, it would be Max von Sydow, who lends enormous dignity to the role of the ship's captain.
PopMatters - 7/10 by J.C. Maçek IIIThere is no Indiana Jones to save the day and no pat Hollywood ending to revise history. Voyage of the Damned is unquestionably a serious drama and treats its subject matter with the dignity that it should.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzBased on a shameful true incident that's still not forgotten.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by Victor DwyerThe huge cast seems to share in the sense of confusion, and what might have been an excellent treatment of an important story merely falls flat.
Newsweek - 5/10 by Janet MaslinRosenberg here confuses seriousness with tedious solemnity, and with the star glut has produced a compacted TV series.
The Guardian - 4/10 by Paul HowlettMovies as clumsy, tasteless and self-righteous as this are worse than merely boring. By exploiting the tragedies of real people, some wildly fictionalized, The Voyage of the Damned attempts to turn them to profit without giving them any measure of the respect that is due.

User Review - 10/10 by Aura TThis is a brillent moving movie about Jewish people fleeing the Nazis.
User Review - 8/10 by FilmGrinder Sheavy. seriously heavy. the unsung story of the nautical peer of Oskar Schindler. well worth knowing and remembering. a lesson in the human consequences of political neutrality in the face of atrocity.
