Potent acting enlivens this true story of a black Navy diver fighting 1950s racism President Clinton led the standing ovation at the White House for this true story of Carl Brashear, a sharecropper's son from Kentucky who became the first African-American certified by the Navy as a master chief diver.

Cuba Gooding Jr. plunges into an ocean of military-drama clichés as the U.S. Navy's first Black deep-sea diver.
