The Sea Wolves is a 1980 war film starring Gregory Peck, Roger Moore and David Niven. The film is based on the book Boarding Party by James Leasor, which itself is based on a real incident which took place in the Second World War.

Plot

During World War II, German submarines are sinking thousands of tons of British merchant shipping. British intelligence, based in India, believe information is being passed to the U-Boats by a radio transmitter hidden on board one of three German ships interned in Portuguese Goa. As Portugal is not involved in the war, the ships are in neutral territory and can not be attacked by conventional forces. British intelligence approach a territorial unit of ageing British ex-patriates to carry out the mission on their behalf.
