The Story
Product Description
Ishmael (Charlie Cox) sees his dream of a whaling voyage come true when
he joins the crew of the Pequod, a whaling boat leaving port in
Nantucket. The commander of the whale boat is the charismatic, some
would say despotic, Captain Ahab (William Hurt), an experienced seaman
and whale hunter who lost his leg several years earlier in a struggle
with the gigantic white sperm whale Moby Dick. Now he is obsessed with
taking revenge on the legendary creature. Neither his long-suffering
wife (Gillian Anderson) nor his crew suspect the true extent of his
obsessive thirst for vengeance. Only Starbuck (Ethan Hawke), the First
Mate of the Pequod, a very religious and level-headed man, fears that
this journey will not be a regular whale-catching expedition. As Ahab
unswervingly pursues his goal, an apocalyptic struggle between man and
animal unfolds on the high seas...
