| Description | 4K UHD - Directed by Ron Howard, this historical adventure movie is about the real-life events that inspired the book Moby Dick. Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, and Cillian Murphy play the crew of the doomed whaler Essex. Their commercial expedition is halted when a huge whale attacks the ship, leaving the men scared and adrift. They face storms, starvation, and fear - but their most terrifying enemies are the whales. The movie is framed as a tale told by a survivor to the aspiring author, Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw). Melville eagerly takes notes about the story he hears from the ex-cabin boy of the Essex. In the Heart of the Sea is a gripping adventure story, but it's also a meditation on the process of creating a work of art like Melville's famous novel. |
