FilmJuiceBased on Melville’s 1851 novel of the same name. It tells the story of the sole survivor of a lost whaling ship, who relates the tale of his captain’s self-destructive obsession to hunt the white whale, Moby Dick.
Captain Ahab, played by Academy Award winner William Hurt (The Incredible Hulk, Into the Wild), goes on the hunt for the great white whale – which in an earlier encounter cost him his lower right leg. Now Ahab wants payback, taking a crew out to sea including first mate Starbuck (Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke – Training Day, Boyhood) and second mate Stubb (Eddie Marsan – Sherlock Holmes), in search of “Moby Dick”.
