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

There's something refreshing about its utterly unembarrassed embrace of the familiar.

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