From the very onset of their mission, the men aboard the USS Mason knew they had little chance of returning from their mission alive. Return they did, though, and after a harrowing journey through some of the most treacherous international waters of the war years, the remarkable crew of the USS Mason proved without question that they could stand tall and fight fiercely alongside soldiers of all races and backgrounds. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Marcia Davis, Washington Post
The history of the Mason is the real star of Proud. If you go expecting only that, then you won't be disappointed. And at times you may find yourself moved.
Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
Proud may not have the best acting, biggest budget, or best written dialogue you will see in a movie, but it does tell an important story.
