WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the early days of the Bible, mankind is uncivilised and making a right old mess of things. That is, except for family man Noah (Crowe), who one day has a vision of an apocalyptic flood that will wipe out all the wrongdoers so things can start again. Going to great lengths to protect his family, Noah builds a large ark that is strong enough to carry his family as well as two of every animal. Time is running out, however, and it doesn’t take long for the rain to come their way…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Darren Aronofsky brings the grand Biblical tale of Noah to the big screen and tells it in an exciting, adventurous new way that no-one has ever dreamt of before.
