Warner Bros. has optioned “In Harm’s Way,†the book by Douglas Stanton that chronicled the ordeal of about 900 sailors left floating in the shark-infested Philippine Sea after the U.S.S. Indianapolis was hit by a Japanese torpedo in 1945.
The sailors were finally rescued five days later, but only after the sharks and the sea had reduced the survivors to just 317 men.
