What happens

«Внимание, цунами!» — советский приключенческий фильм 1969 года. Семь военных моряков служат на дальнем посту экстренного оповещения в Тихом океане. В этих суровых краях морская стихия часто обрушивает на берег страшной силы цунами. Задача поста - первыми обнаружить угрозу и предупредить людей на земле о надвигающейся опасности. Моряки первыми подвергаются опасности, ценой своих жизней спасая людей от бедствия. Однажды на остров обрушивается страшное цунами. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
