MGM and Trilogy Entertainment have joined forces on “USS Indianapolis,” based on a World War II tragedy about the warship that was sunk just after delivering the atom bomb that would be dropped on the Japanese.

Because of bungling by the Navy, a distress call was ignored. Of the 800 men who waited in the water to be rescued, only 316 survived.

The rest drowned or were devoured by sharks. “Fatal Voyage” is a John Sayles-scripted adaptation of a Dan Kurzman book on the tragedy.
