Based on the novel by Herman Melville, Moby Dick is a psychological thriller of one man's decent into madness. The story begins when inexperienced sailor Ishmael (Cox) joins the crew of the whaling ship Pequod, helmed by the mysterious and tortured Captain Ahab (Hurt). Though the journey at first appears to be a routine whaling quest, the crew soon is unwittingly forced to join Ahab in his singular purpose—to hunt and kill the enigmatic white whale, which nearly killed him years before. As they sail across the desolate ocean, Ahab's obsession to seek the deadly whale they call Moby Dick, no matter the cost, soon proves fatal. Never straying from his quest to hunt and kill the monstrous whale, the crew realizes that their captain is so blinded by vengeance that he may soon lead them all to an ultimate peril. (Gary Reber)
