Z oskarjem nagrajeni Ron Howard režira akcijsko pustolovščino po knjižni uspešnici Nathaniela Philbricka o napetem resničnem potovanju ladje za kitolov Essex.
Pozimi leta 1820 kitolovca Essex iz Nove Anglije napade nekaj, kar ne more verjeti nihče: velikanski kit z neusahljivo voljo in domala človeškim občutkom za maščevanje.
