Brave Hearts: Umizaru (BRAVE HEARTS 海猿) is a 2012 Japanese film directed by Eiichirō Hasumi and based on the manga series Umizaru.[1]

It is the fourth feature film in the live action Umizaru series, following films Umizaru (2004), Limit of Love: Umizaru (2006) and Umizaru 3: The Last Message (2010), and the 2005 TV series Umizaru: Evolution.

Synopsis

Two years have passed since the oil platform accident in The Last Message. Heroic rescue diver Daisuke Senzaki (Hideaki Itō) and longtime teammate Yoshioka (Ryuta Sato) have since transferred to the front line as members of a special rescue unit. While Senzaki and his wife Kanna (Ai Kato) are about to welcome a second child into their happy family, Yoshioka has also found love with flight attendant Mika (Riisa Naka). One day, Mika's Tokyo-bound flight catches mechanical trouble, putting over 300 souls in danger as the pilots attempt an emergency landing on water. Despite the plane landing safely, Senzaki, Yoshioka and their fellow sea monkeys only have 20 minutes to get everyone out before it sinks into water.
