The epic true-life story of one of the most notorious maritime disasters of the nineteenth century - and inspiration for `Moby-Dick'.

When the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket in 1819, the unthinkable happened. A mere speck in the vast Pacific Ocean - and powerless against the forces of nature - Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, and her twenty crewmen were forced to take to the open sea in three small boats.

Ninety days later only a handful of survivors were rescued - and a terrifying story of desperation, cannibalism and courage was revealed...

One of the greatest sea yarns ever spun, `In the Heart of the Sea' is the true story of the extraordinary events that inspired Herman Melville's masterpiece `Moby-Dick'.
