For Those in Peril is a 1944 British war film produced by Ealing Studios that marked the directorial debut of Charles Crichton.

The film was developed from a short story by Richard Hillary, an RAF pilot killed in action in January 1943.

The basic and relatively slight storyline of For Those in Peril was an end to produce a film with a documentary feel and an element of wartime propaganda.

The title is taken from the maritime hymn Eternal Father, Strong to Save: Oh hear us when we pray to thee, for those in peril on the sea.

Rawlings is initially resentful and bored by the apparent mundane and un-exciting life, until the vessel is called on to rescue the three man crew of an RAF bomber shot down in mid-Channel, in a small rubber dinghy in the fog.

The larger naval vessel RML 529[clarification needed] arrives and provides enough fire power to scare the Germans off.

In common with a number of other war-related films made by Ealing at this time, the plot was subservient to the propaganda message; name actors were generally not used and genuine sailors featured in the action scenes.
