'Save the Ship' is a plotless silent short film which has the 33 year old Stan Laurel acting in a run of the mill production to pay his bills and as a token by Hal Roach.

A fictional retelling of how the first summer blockbuster was saved, and movie history was made. Save the Ship tells the tale of a young Steven Spielberg and his daily creative battle within himself and the ever changing currents of the film world. Set in the summer of 1974 on Martha’s Vineyard.
