The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of a battle between an aging, experienced fisherman, Santiago, and a large marlin. The story opens with Santiago having gone 84 days without catching a fish, and now being seen as "salao", the worst form of unluckiness. He is so unlucky that his young apprentice, Manolin, has been forbidden by his parents to sail with him and has been told instead to fish with successful fishermen. The boy visits Santiago's shack each night, hauling his fishing gear, preparing food, talking about American baseball and his favorite player, Joe DiMaggio. Santiago tells Manolin that on the next day, he will venture far out into the Gulf Stream, north of Cuba in the Straits of Florida to fish, confident that his unlucky streak is near its end.

On the eighty-fifth day of his unlucky streak, Santiago takes his skiff into the Gulf Stream, sets his lines and by noon, has his bait taken by a big fish that he is sure is a marlin. Unable to haul in the great marlin, Santiago is instead pulled by the marlin, and two days and nights pass with Santiago holding onto the line. Though wounded by the struggle and in pain, Santiago expresses a compassionate appreciation for his adversary, often referring to him as a brother. He also determines that, because of the fish's great dignity, no one shall deserve to eat the marlin.

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and noted sportsman. His economical and understated style—which he termed the iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two non-fiction works. Three of his novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.

Hungarian Summary:

Ernest Hemingway klasszikus regényének filmváltozata

Már 84 napja, hogy az öreg halász, Santiago nem fogott semmit. Kétségbeesésében úgy dönt: egyedül vág neki a tengernek, hátha így mellészegődik a szerencse. Hosszú, őrjítően magányos napok után váratlanul kapást jelez a csali, és egy hatalmas erő vontatni kezdi a csónakot. Ezzel kezdetét veszi a napokig tartó elkeseredett küzdelem a halász és a hal között, amelynek végén a hatalmas narvál előbukkan a tenger mélyéből, és Santiago összeszedve minden erejét, - le is döfi szigonyával. Az ereje fogytán lévő, végletekig kimerült halász csónakja oldalához köti zsákmányát, és büszkén, vitorlát bontva indul haza, ám a dögszag odacsalja a környék vérszomjas cápáit, és elkezdődik a végső harc a halász és az óceán ragadozói között...
