This real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby Dick, but Melville's book only told half the story. Experience the harrowing aftermath as the pummeled crew battles storms, starvation, and despair, and the men are to do the unthinkable in order to survive. Ron Howard directs this astonishing true story based on the best-selling book by Nathaniel Philbrick. Chris Hemsworth stars as the vessel's veteran first mate and Benjamin Walker is the ship's less-than-experienced captain.
