The Finest Hours movie billboards...

From pirates and danger on the high seas in 18th century Caribbean yesterday, to a daring 1950s Coast Guard rescue off Cape Cod in The Finest Hours today.

Based on a true story, Chris Pine, Casey Affleck and Ben Foster are the crew that attempt a rescue when two oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952.

Holliday Grainger is the fiancée left behind to worry when Chris Pine answers the call of duty to take on the vicious storm and enormous waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

The portrait billboard for The Finest Hours was first spied high above Vine Street on December 18, whilst the landscape billboard was snapped along La Brea Avenue on December 18, 2015 and the duo of billboards high over Hollywood Boulevard on January 4, 2016.

Meanwhile the giant-sized storm-tossed billboard was photographed making a spectacle along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on January 7, 2016.

Interestingly The Finest Hours has had to fight for stand out at the same time as the similarly titled 13 Hours movie billboards that have filled the skies of L.A. in recent weeks.

If you're a Chris Pine fan, be sure to also check him out in these This Means War movie billboards, these Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit billboards and these Horrible Bosses 2 movie billboards.

Here's hoping this seafaring disaster movie stays afloat at cinemas better than the recent Moby-Dick film, In the Heart of the Sea, which sank without trace at the box office.
