« The Creature all men feared became one man's obsession »
Patrick Stewart takes the helm as mad captain Ahab in this USA Network-produced miniseries adaptation of Melville's classic seafaring yarn. Computer-aided effects and a multinational cast make for an ambitious effort. Gregory Peck, Ahab in John Huston's 1956 version, makes a cameo appearance.
