根據(jù)梅爾．維爾的經(jīng)典文學名改編，由老牌導演約翰．休斯掌舵，加上格利高里．派克將傲倔強的艾海伯船長塑造得入三分，使本片成為海上冒險片經(jīng)典佳作。故事以一條全身純的巨型鯨魚莫比敵為中心發(fā)展它是一條被水手們視為魔鬼化的兇猛鯨魚。艾海伯在捕捉它過程中被咬掉了一條腿，這種辱與傷痛更激發(fā)起他一定要打這條巨鯨的決心，然而也因他種偏執(zhí)狂的意志導致很多無辜員葬身海底的悲劇。本片的海歷險場面拍得相當壯觀，在細的心理刻畫之外也有不錯的娛效果。\rThis classic story by Herman Melville revolves around Captain Ahab and his obsession with a huge whale, Moby Dick.
