ABSTRACT Gloucester, Massachusetts, October 1991: The swordfishing vessel Andrea Gail, helmed by hard-up Captain Billy Tyne, is brought back out to sea one last time for the season following an unsatisfactory catch. Unfortunately for Tyne and his crew, the Andrea Gail sails into the heart of a historically intense late-season disturbance later known as "The Perfect Storm" after heading out beyond its usual fishing boundaries, presenting a challenge going far beyond any sailor's worst case scenario for all aboard. <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Occupation</th><th>Birth</th><th>Death</th><th>Known for</th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/020/000098723/">Karen Allen</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>5-Oct-1951</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Raiders of the Lost Ark</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/763/000022697/">George Clooney</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>6-May-1961</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>E.R.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/257/000130864/">William Fichtner</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>27-Nov-1956</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Agent Mahone on Prison Break</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/133/000130740/">Bob Gunton</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>15-Nov-1945</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Shawshank Redemption</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/336/000093057/">John Hawkes</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>11-Sep-1959</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Bugsy in The Perfect Storm</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/629/000345591/">Josh Hopkins</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>12-Sep-1970</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Grayson Ellis on Cougar Town</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/040/000024965/">Michael Ironside</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>12-Feb-1950</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Scanners, Top Gun, Starship Troopers</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/145/000108818/">Cherry Jones</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>21-Nov-1956</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Heiress</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/049/000025971/">Diane Lane</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>22-Jan-1965</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>A Walk on the Moon</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/617/000025542/">Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>17-Nov-1958</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Abyss</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/100/000131704/">Christopher McDonald</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>15-Feb-1955</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Happy Gilmore</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/686/000131293/">Dash Mihok</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>24-May-1974</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Lynn McKennan on Felicity</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/169/000109839/">Allen Payne</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>7-Jul-1968</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>House of Payne</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/214/000029127/">John C.
