Based on the true story that inspired Moby-Dick, the film recounts the tragic 1820 voyage of the whaling ship Essex. When the vessel is attacked and destroyed by a massive sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean, the surviving crew faces starvation, despair, and the limits of human endurance. Decades later, author Herman Melville seeks out the last survivor to uncover the harrowing truth behind the myth.
