Synopsis

This movie is based on the book "In the Heart of the Sea" by Nathaniel Philbrick. Set in the year 1820, Captain George Pollard, Jr. (Benjamin Walker), first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth), second mate Matthew Joy (Cillian Murphy), and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson (Tom Holland) are on a voyage in their whaleship Essex. The whaling ship is preyed upon by a large bull sperm whale, who eventually strikes it and the crew is left stranded at the sea for 90 days over a thousand miles from home. Things turn ghastly as the crew sails for South America but under the circumstances is forced to turn cannibalistic.
