Synopsis:

The Sea-Wolf is the gripping tale of Humphrey Van Weyden who is ship-wrecked after embarking on what was meant to be a pleasure cruise. When he is picked up by a passing ship, he initially believes he has been rescued by kind saviours. But Humphrey soon finds out that he has in fact boarded the Ghost—a seal-hunting ship captained by the terrifying and twisted Wolf Larsen, known by his crew as the Sea-Wolf.

A captivating tale of survival, Jack London’s The Sea-Wolf has been adapted for the screen numerous times, most notably in the 1941 film which was nominated for the Academy Award for best visual effects that year.
