Кит (2013)

The Whale

Драма о роковом путешествии китобойного судна «Эссекс», которое было атаковано кашалотом в 1820 году, оставив команду бороться за выживание в трёх маленьких лодках. Посреди Тихого океана эти люди должны решить, плыть ли к ближайшим островам в тысяче миль к западу или отправиться в грандиозное путешествие почти за три тысячи миль, чтобы достичь американского материка. Этот инцидент вдохновил Германа Мелвилла на написание в 1851 году романа «Моби Дик».
