Moby Dick, based on the Herman Melville masterpiece of the same name and adapted by Mark Rosenwinkel, tells a tale of whaling and revenge, but explores deeper messages of obsession, destiny and man’s relationship to nature. Narrated by the sailor Ishmael, he tells the story of his time upon a ship named Pequod, captained by the intense Captain Ahab. Ahab is obsessed with hunting Moby Dick, a giant white sperm whale that had destroyed Ahab’s prior ship and cost him his leg. The destructive nature of his obsession puts himself and the entire crew at risk. In the dramatic end to Ahab’s chase, we learn whether man or nature prevail.
