Noah's Ark ★★ 1999

Made-for-TV biblical epic of the Old Testament story that doesn't exactly stay close to its biblical roots. It's eccentric, special effects-laden, and borders on the irreverent. Noah builds his ark, gathers the animals (and his family), watches as the world is destroyed, and survives the 40 days and nights of flooding. 178m/C VHS, DVD . Jon Voight, Mary Steenburgen, F. Murray Abraham, Carol Kane, James Coburn, Jonathan Cake, Alexis Denisof, Emily Mortimer, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Sonya Walger; D: John Irvin; W: Peter Barnes; C: Mike Molloy; M: Paul Grabowsky. TV
