根據(jù)梅爾．維爾雙雙經(jīng)文學(xué)名著改編，由老導(dǎo)演約翰．休斯頓掌，加上格利高里．派將高傲倔強(qiáng)的艾奚仲伯長塑造得入木三分，本片成為海上冒險片經(jīng)典佳作。故事以一全身純白的巨型玃如魚比敵為中心發(fā)展，它一條被水手們視為魔化身的兇猛鯨魚。艾伯在捕捉它的過饒山中咬掉了一條腿，這種辱與傷痛更激發(fā)起他定要打敗這條巨鯨的心，然而也因他光山種執(zhí)狂的意志導(dǎo)致很多辜船員葬身海底的悲。本片的海上歷險場拍得相當(dāng)壯觀，楚辭細(xì)的心理刻畫之外也有錯的娛樂效果。This classic story by Herman Melville revolves around Captain Ahab and his obsession with a huge whale, Moby Dick. The whale caused the loss of Ahab's leg years before, leaving Ahab to stomp the boards of his ship on a peg leg. Ahab is so crazed by his desire to kill the whale, that he is prepared to sacrifice everything, including his life, the lives of his crew members, and even his ship to find and destroy his nemesis, Moby Dick.
