Adrift – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s the early 1970s, and a young British family is attempting to sail around the world when catastrophe strikes.

The Robertsons have sold everything they own to embark on this trip. But their epic odyssey soon turns into a desperate fight for their lives in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. 

Dougal and Lyn, their teenage children Douglas and Anne, and 12-year-old twins Sandy and Neil find themselves hundreds of miles from land, with few supplies, no radio contact, and surrounded by sharks. 

Drifting in the vast emptiness, they must rely on their instincts and harness the elements to survive. Yet even with deadly predators circling, they discover that sometimes their worst enemy is...themselves.
