At Stream Tracker, here's a quick look at They Were Expendable — John Ford’s 1945 wartime drama that throws you straight into the grit and salt spray of PT-boat warfare. Follow Lt. "Rusty" Ryan and Lt. Brickley as frustrated crews finally get their chance after Pearl Harbor, proving patrol torpedo boats can cut through enemy lines despite skeptical Navy brass. A seafaring blend of duty, loss and small-boat heroism that earned contemporary recognition with Academy Award nominations, the film remains a touchstone for World War II naval cinéma. In this article, Stream Tracker checks whether you can stream that PT-squadron action on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ right now.

Synopsis

A demonstration of new PT boats fails to convince the naval high command of their combat value, leaving Lt. "Rusty" Ryan frustrated. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ryan and his colleague Lt. Brickley are finally ordered to take their squadron into action, and the PT boats quickly prove their worth—downing Japanese planes, carrying vital messages between islands, and striking numerous enemy ships.
