The Sea Wolf background

The Sea Wolf

A sailor rescues a group of escapees from drowning, only to have them captured by a ruthless captain who denies them shore leave.

On a sealing schooner, the Ghost, three individuals from different backgrounds converge, each seeking to evade capture. George Leach, Ruth Brewster, and writer Humphrey Van Weyden, from a refined background, reluctantly join the crew, led by the ruthless "Wolf" Larsen, who wields his authority with an iron fist. As they navigate the treacherous waters, George and Ruth, who have fallen in love, try to escape, while Humphrey becomes entangled in Wolf's web of contradictions. The tension builds as each tries to achieve their goal, with Wolf's ultimate creed - "reign in hell than serve in heaven" - guiding his actions.
