'In the Heart of the Sea' handler om den virkelige historie om en hvalbåd, der i 1820 sejlede ud fra kysten af Nantucket og blev overmandet af en kæmpe kaskelothval. Besætningen på 20 mand forsvandt til søs i mere end 90 dage og måtte til sidst trække lod om, hvem der skulle spises. Den virkelige historie har inspireret Herman Melvilles klassiske litterære værk 'Moby Dick'.

June 27, 1956

Gregory Peck indtager rollen som hvalfangerbåden Pequods notoriske kaptajn Ahab, hvis træben minder ham om hans drabelige sammenstød med Moby Dick – den enorme hvide hval, som "giver indblik i universets hjerteløse tomhed". Besat af hævntørst risikerer Ahab sit eget og besætningens liv i den vanvittige jagt på sin fjende. En jagt der bringer alle implicerede på en rejse ind i den mørkeste krog af menneskets sjæl.

Kirk og hans besætning er tilbage på Jorden, hvor de er i retten for at have kapret rumskibet Enterprise. Mens de befinder sig på Jorden, kastes de ud i et nyt eventyr. En rumsonde truer med at ødelægge planeten, hvis den ikke får lov at fortsætte sin mangeårige kommunikation med et bestemt pattedyr på Jorden, nemlig pukkelhvalen. Uheldigvis står en enkelt ting i vejen for at følge rumsondens simple krav: Pukkelhvalerne er uddøde i det 23. århundrede. Derfor rejser Kirk, Spock og resten af mandskabet tilbage i tiden til San Francisco i 1986, hvor de rammes af kulturchok og forsøger at indsamle nogle få venlige pukkelhvaler, som de kan tage med tilbage til fremtiden.

Dramatic retelling of the fateful last voyage of the Nantucket whaleship Essex. When the Essex is attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in November 1820, her crew take to three fragile whalers. Alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the men must decide whether to head for the nearest islands - a thousand miles downwind to the west - or set out on an epic journey of almost three thousand miles to reach the South American mainland. Fear of cannibals forces them to choose South America. Almost three months later, the first whaler is rescued by another whaleship. Only three men are still alive. A week later the captain's whaler is also rescued, with just two men aboard. The third whaler is never found. This is a story of human endurance and what men in extremis will do to survive.
