Storyline:
In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship
Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size
and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime
disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. But that told only half the
story. "In the Heart of the Sea" reveals the encounter's harrowing
aftermath, as the ship's surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to
do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and
despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value
of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for
direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great
whale down.
