Seven Were Saved is a 1947 American film directed by William H. Pine and starring Richard Denning, Catherine Craig and Russell Hayden.
An army nurse undergoes a mission in taking an amnesia victim, who was imprisoned by the Japanese during World War II, to the United States via plane. The passengers include a Japanese colonel on his way to Manila to face war-crime charges, and a couple who were married on the day they were liberated from a Japanese prison camp. During the flight, the colonel breaks away from his guards, causing the plane to spiral out of control, and it plummets into the sea...with eight people surviving the crash. The survivors, in a liferaft, attempt the 600-mile journey to the nearest islands while hoping for rescue.
