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.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This seaman's tale languishes in shallow waters.
– Robert Cashill,

fresh:
Men of Honor leaves you wanting to know more, and that's not a bad thing.

There's something refreshing about its utterly unembarrassed embrace of the familiar.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,

fresh:
By the time its clunking climax rolls around, the film has built up enough honest good will that you can forgive its tear- jerking pomp.

rotten:
An earnest but C-plus tribute to an A-grade character.
