The Riddle of the Sands
1979 · TMDB 6.1
Directed by Tony Maylam
In the early years of the 20th Century, two British yachtsmen (Michael York and Simon MacCorkindale) stumble upon a German plot to invade the east coast of England in a flotilla of specially designed barges. They set out to thwart this terrible scheme, but must outwit not only the cream of the German Navy, but the feared Kaiser Wilhelm himself.
Why it matters
Two Englishmen sail the Frisian Islands in a small yacht, uncovering a German plot to invade England before World War I.
