In this modern-day revamp of the monster classic, Captain Ahab becomes obsessed with killing Moby Dick after an encounter with the monstrous whale costs him his leg and scars his early Navy career. Years later, he goes rogue from the Navy and commandeers an ultramodern submarine to fulfill his lifelong obsession.

Herman Melville’s timeless story, Moby Dick, was first adapted into a movie in the 1950s, starring the debonair Gregory Peck (Roman Holiday, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Omen) as Captain Ahab. Ships, navigation and technology may have changed since then, but Moby Dick remains a fearsome a foe as ever.
