"The white whale tasks me; he heaps me. Yet he is but a mask. 'Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate; the malignant thing that has plagued mankind since time began" - Captain Ahab

Why watch this? ... it steps out of the pages of the classic novel and splashes gloriously upon the big screen.

Plot Summary: Ishmael is a sailor who signs aboard the Pequod, a whaling ship bound for a perilous journey across the high seas. The ship is commanded by Captain Ahab, who is consumed by an intense desire for revenge against a legendary white whale known as Moby Dick, which was responsible for severing his leg. Ahab's relentless pursuit of this elusive creature jeopardizes the lives of his crew as his obsession overrides all other considerations.

Dad's Preview: This salty epic brings to life Herman Melville's epic sea tale of one man's deranged obsession. Stern-jawed Gregory Peck is the perfect Captain Ahab, a brutal man hell bent on killing the white whale, a beast that has caused him so much pain. Onward he pushes his crew! He will have his revenge, even if it kills everyone aboard his ship!
