Noah

The film tells the story of Noah, a man who suffers visions of an apocalyptic deluge and takes measures to protect his family from the coming flood. The provided overview does not describe individual scenes, but it does state that Noah builds a great ark, that only pairs of living creatures and his family may board, and that the surrounding people mock his work and conflict arises within his family. Russell Crowe is named in the overview as playing Noah.

The story sits in Genesis 6-9. Noah, his son Shem (and his brothers Ham and Japheth named in the scripture below) are the central figures. Genesis 6:1-12 sets the stage: humanity multiplies, the earth is filled with violence and corruption, and Noah is described as a righteous man who walked with God and found favour in God's eyes. This is the biblical backdrop the film draws on.

The film imagines inner conflict within Noah's family and the hostility of surrounding people, as stated in the overview. The provided scripture (Genesis 6:1-12) itself does not record family disputes during the ark-building period; it states that 'the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence' and that 'all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth,' which is the general backdrop the overview points to. Watch for how the film visualises the corruption of 'all flesh' and what it chooses to focus on as the cause of the coming flood.

Adaptations commonly compress the long timeline in Genesis 6 (the 120 years, the building of the ark, the gathering of the animals) into a single dramatic arc, and often merge or invent characters to dramatise moral choices. Compare what the film emphasises as the reason for the flood with what Genesis 6:1-12 actually says: 'Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.' Note also that the scripture names three sons of Noah — Shem, Ham, and Japheth — while the film figures provided list only Shem.
