Ključna beseda Battleship

Ameriška mornarica v bližini Havajev prireja mednarodno vojaško vajo, ko v Pacifiku pristanejo neznani leteči predmeti. Nezemljani so sledili signalom z Zemlje in želijo zavzeti naš planet, invazijo pa lahko preprečijo zgolj tri ladje, ki se znajdejo v bližini uničevalnih vesoljskih strojev. Po prvem porazu s številnimi žrtvami mora poveljstvo prevzeti vročekrvni stotnik Hopper in pred vnovičnim spopadom zgladiti spor z japonskim kapitanom. Skupaj skušata odkriti način, kako v divjih spopadih na morju poraziti sovražnikove ladje in uničujoče robote.

Casey Ryback je bivši marinec, ki je kot kuhar zaposlen na največji ameriški bojni ladji USS Missouri. Posadka se pripravlja na praznovanje rojstnega dne kapitana Adamsa. Za to priložnost najamejo ansambel, ki ga vodi William Strannix, in bivšo playboyevo lepotico Jordan Tate. A Adams ne ve, da ga v kratkem čaka smrtonosno presenečenje. Strannix namreč na lepem vkoraka v njegovo pisarno, ga ubije in s svojimi možmi prevzame nadzor nad ladjo. Ne računa pa na Caseyja, ki ni le vešč kuhar, ampak obvlada tudi borilne veščine in se dobro spozna na orožje ter eksplozive.

Leta 1592 se admiral Yi Sun-sin in njegova flota soočijo z močjo invazivne japonske mornarice in njenih mogočnih vojnih ladij. Ko korejske sile zapadejo v krizo, se admiral zateče k uporabi svojega skrivnega orožja, ladij z zmajevo glavo, znanih kot geobukseon, da bi spremenil tok te epske bitke na morju.
