In the Heart of the Sea tells the true story of the tragedy at sea that inspired Moby Dick, including some of the most disturbing parts of the tale. Although Ron Howard’s feature film adaptation was expected to be a true epic, it received mixed reviews, which often criticized its pacing but praised the talent of the actors. The cast of In the Heart of the Sea includes Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Holland. The film’s story takes place across two different timelines, and In the Heart of the Sea is partly told through the flashbacks of Thomas Nickerson, who was the youngest survivor.
