In 1968, The Sunday Times of London announced the first non-stop, single-handed, round-the-world sailing race. This is the stunning true story of Donald Crowhurst, a free-thinking electronics inventor and amateur yachtsman who hopes his revolutionary on-board computer will effortlessly guide him into first place. As the harrowing race progresses, Crowhurst's reports of his positions at sea put him as the clear leader, unbelievably far ahead of his main competition. As the world waits on tenterhooks for this extraordinary man to cross the finish line, a shocking truth is revealed. From the producer of Touching the Void.
