“Based on the incredible true story that inspired Moby Dick”
In the winter of 1820, the whaling ship Essex faces an unprecedented calamity when a colossal, seemingly sentient whale attacks with a ferocity that suggests a calculated vendetta. Ron Howard's film dramatises this maritime catastrophe, portraying the harrowing survival story of the ship's crew adrift in the Pacific, grappling with nature's unforgiving indifference and their own fragile sanity.
