The Sea Wolf (1941)

In the unforgiving waters of the high seas, a motley assembly of characters find themselves ensnared in the iron grip of the merciless Captain Wolf Larsen, aboard his ominous sealing schooner, the "Ghost". Among these unwilling seafarers are the young, intellectual writer Humphrey van Weyden, the fugitive Ruth Webster, escaped from a women's penitentiary, and George Leach, a man likewise on the run from the law. Van Weyden and Webster, both victims of the sea's capricious nature, were plucked from the icy waters by Larsen, who refuses to return them to solid ground. Larsen's rule is ruthless, his punishments severe, meting out brutal beatings to his crew for the barest slip-ups, creating an atmosphere thick with dread and defiance. As the Ghost cuts through the waves, a rebellion bubbles beneath its decks. The crew, no longer able to stomach Larsen's tyranny, mutinies against their captain. Amidst this tumult, Van Weyden, Webster, and Leach seize the opportunity to break free from Larsen's clutches. However, their escape proves elusive, as if an unseen force pulls them back towards the Ghost and its malevolent captain. In the relentless pursuit of freedom and survival, the trio finds themselves drawn into a dangerous dance with their tormentor, Larsen. The Ghost, like a spectral predator, sails on, its voyage charted for disaster, its passengers and crew caught in the throes of a deadly power struggle. The Sea Wolf is a tale of human resilience in the face of cruelty, a storm-wracked journey towards an uncertain destiny.

The Sea Wolf is an adventure movie featuring Edward G. Robinson and directed by Michael Curtiz.
