On Starz Encore
A dark, philosophically weighted adaptation of Melville's novel that frames obsession and fate through the eyes of a sole survivor, treating the hunt for Moby Dick as a meditation on human hubris and the unknowable.
The sole survivor of a lost whaling ship relates the tale of his captain's self-destructive obsession to hunt the white whale, Moby Dick.
