Stewart takes the helm as mad captain Ahab in this USA Network-produced miniseries adaptation of Melville's classic seafaring yarn. Computer-aided effects and a multinational cast make for an ambitious effort. Gregory Peck, Ahab in John Huston's 1956 version, makes a cameo appearance.

Seeking adventure on the high seas, a young sailor called Ishmael ships out aboard the whaling schooner Pequod. But as Ishmael soon learns, this will be no ordinary voyage...because their captain is no ordinary man. He is the infamous Ahab. On a vengeful quest to slay the legendary white whale known as Moby Dick, Ahab will lead the entire crew into the uncharted waters of their darkest fears, and pit himself against the most cunning and dangerous creature ever to explode from the ocean depths.
