IN THE HEART OF THE SEA
Action Adventure
Based on the true events of the New England Essex whaling ship disaster that partly inspired Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, this film offers a fresh perspective. In 1820, the Essex was struck and sunk by a mammoth-sized sperm whale. In the Heart of the Sea depicts the harrowing 90-day struggle the surviving crew members went through – braving storms, starvation and despair, and leading them to question the morality of their trade. Directed by the brilliant Ron Howard, with special effects that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this film is a definite for those who prefer high adventure in the safety of the cinema.
