In this movie, an old fisherman, a Cuban fisherman who went 84 days without hunting. Things seem to turn out on a different path for this man while hanging a giant fish that pulls him to the sea on Day 85.
Talky, but not surprising, since it is based on Hemingway story of old man (Tracy) musing about catching huge fish.
