"In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship ESSEX was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth proportions with an almost human sense of vengeance. This real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's MOBY-DICK, but Melville's book only told half the story. Experience the harrowing aftermath as the pummeled crew battles storms, starvation, and despair, and the men are forced to do the unthinkable in order to survive."
