English Summary:
Moby Dick is a 1998 American television miniseries based on Herman Melville's 1851 novel of the same name. It was filmed in Australia in 1997 and first released in the United States in 1998. The miniseries consisted of two episodes, each running two hours with commercials on March 15 and 16 of 1998 on the USA Network
Ishmael is a young sailor who joins the crew of the whaling ship Pequod; Captain Ahab is in charge of Pequod. Queequeg meets Ishmael at a motel and joins Ishmael in his whaling journey.
Ahab rejects the repeated pleas of Starbuck to stop chasing Moby Dick because the ship is operating at a loss and the quest for the sperm whale could end in everyone's death. Queequeg engages in passive resistance by completely refusing to do any work on the ship and throws down his harpoon.
Hungarian Summary:
Mivel Ishmaelnek nagyon kevés a pénze, és éppen semmi nem érdekli különösképpen a szárazföldön, elhatározza, hogy tengerre száll és megnézi a világ vízzel borított felét. Jó sorsa Ahab kapitánnyal hozza össze, aki keménykötésű férfiakkal indul el vitorlás hajójával, hogy elkapja Moby Dicket, a fehér bálnát, aki megcsonkította az egyik lábát...Ahab kapitány akaratát senki nem másíthatja meg, Moby Dicket el kell kapniuk! Társai gyakran gondolnak arra, hogy szellemet látnak, és mindenki őrültnek tekinti Ahabot. Bűnös gondolatok fogalmazódnak meg bennük, egészen addig a pillanatig, amíg testközelbe kerül a fehér bálna...
