Synopses for The Lightship (1986)
1.
Lightships - stationary vessels that serve as offshore lighthouses - were once a common feature of the American coasts. In The Lightship, director Jerzy Skolimowski takes us into the storm-tossed, suffocatingly close world of a lightship to witness the age-old struggle of good and evil in a uniquely nightmarish setting. The ship's captain, Klaus Maria Brandauer, must somehow protect his men and his rebellious son against an invading gang led by a man who is as cunning as he is without scruples (Robert Duvall). Filmed on an actual lightship meticulously restored to evoke a now bygone way of life, The Lightship is a powerful and realistically vivid drama of one man's struggle against the powers of darkness.

A coast guard lightship anchored off the Carolina coast is taken over by three escaped killers. Brandauer portrays the captain of the besieged ship who must protect his men and Duvall superbly plays the creepy homosexual leader of the invading gang.
