Sjömannen Ismael mönstrar på valfångstfartyget Pequod som leds av den excentriske kaptenen Ahab. För många år sedan förlorade Ahab sitt ben under ett möte med den vita valen Moby Dick, och har sedan den dagen drömt om hämnd. Driven av galenskap ger han sig ut på jakt efter havsodjuret och får med Ismael och resten av besättningen på äventyret. Ahabs besatthet sätter inte bara hans eget liv på spel utan även alla andras ombord på fartyget. Kaptenen har förklarat krig mot ett av havets mäktigaste odjur och är beredd att offra allt för att få sin revansch.

On a previous voyage, a mysterious white whale had ripped off the leg of a sea captain named Ahab. Now the crew of the Pequod, on a pursuit that features constant adventure and horrendous mishaps, must follow the mad Ahab into the abyss to satisfy his unslakeable thirst for vengeance.

Ahab hat nur ein einziges Ziel: den weißen Wal, der ihm das Bein abgerissen hat, zu jagen und zu töten. In seinem blinden Fanatismus ist er bereit, sein Leben und das all seiner Matrosen zu opfern, um das Ungeheuer endgültig zu erledigen.
