Ron Howard’s 2015 drama In the Heart of the Sea tackles the true story of the 1820 sinking of the whaling ship Essex, but leaves out some unexpected developments after the survivors’ rescue. In the Heart of the Sea’s cast is led by Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland, Cillian Murphy, and Benjamin Walker, portraying the real-life crew members whose ship is wrecked during an encounter with a large sperm whale. For those who survive the initial wreck, their journey to rescue is a harrowing ordeal that results in cannibalism, with the men later still being haunted by these experiences at sea.
