Noah's Ark Summary
MPAA Rating: NR
Director: John Irvin
Genres: Epic
Rating:
The biblical story of Noah and the Great Flood gets a decidedly unusual retelling in this film, produced as a two-part TV movie and first aired on NBC in May 1999. Noah Jon_Voight is an ordinary laborer who one day begins receiving messages from God. It seems the Lord has a special assignment for him: since God is planning on destroying the world with a massive flood, he wants Noah to build a giant ark and fill it with one male and one female of each animal on earth. So why Noah of all people? As God tells him, "You fit the bill. Good times, bad times, you believe in me." And why a 500-foot-long ark? "I think big! I made the world in seven days!" Joining Noah on the trip of a lifetime is his wife Naamah (Mary_Steenburgen); those not invited along for the ride are F._Murray_Abraham as Lot, Carol_Kane as his wife Sarah, and James_Coburn as a peddler. Some video versions run 140 minutes. Mark Deming, Rovi
