Moby Dick tells the story of one man’s fight with nature and the elements. Captain Ahab sets out on a mission to get revenge for what had happened to him many years before. He is determined to kill the whale that caused him so much pain and changed his life. As the voyage proceeds, Captain Ahab becomes even more fixated with his goal. He does not consider the safety of his crew, nor his own safety. Once he realises that his crew and ship are in danger, it is too late. In the end who will be the strongest?
