Patrick Stewart gives a stunning performance as peg-legged whaling ship captain Ahab, obsessed with tracking down and killing the great white beast that took his limb and darkened his soul, in this dramatic adaptation of Herman Melville's maritime novel. Henry Thomas co-stars as young sailor Ishmael; with Ted Levine and Gregory Peck (who played Ahab in the 1956 film) as Father Mapple. 184 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
