This was co-produced by the UK's Southern Television and Australia's Network Ten "Based on a true story, The Heroes follows one of the most extraordinary and heroic exploits of World War II.  After months of rigorous training in the north of Australia, a team of 14 men, most barely out of their teens, set sail from Cairns on board a leaky old fishing boat called 'The Krait'.  Their mission, code-named Operation Jaywick, became a tense voyage through thousands of kilometres of Japanese held territory to launch a daring attack on Singapore Harbour.  The raid is a success but within sight of safety they encounter a Japanese destroyer, and all prepare to die rather than be taken prisoner. The end credits state that a year after Operation Jaywick, Ivan Lyon led another attack on Singapore by submarine. Lyon and those who accompanied him died. They included Donald Davision, Bob Page, Poppa Falls,Happy Huston and Boof Marsh."
