Synopsis:



The Sand Pebbles tells many stories. It's the story of China, a slumbering giant that rouses itself to the cries of its people -- and of the Americans who are caught in its bloody awakening. It's the story of Frenchy (Richard Attenborough), a crewman on the U.S.S. San Pablo who kidnaps his Chinese bride from the auction block. Most of all, it's the story of Jake Holman (Steve McQueen), a sailor who has given up trying to make peace with anything -- including himself. Nominated for nine Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Actor for McQueen, The Sand Pebbles blends explosive action with stirring drama and romance to form "engrossing entertainment of a special and memorable sort." (The Hollywood Reporter)
