The Old Man and the Sea

On the eighty-fifth day of no catches, old Cuban fisherman Santiago sets out past the shallows of his usual fishing grounds to break his streak of bad luck. Without his younger apprentice Manolin to help him, Santiago struggles to reel in the biggest catch of his life—a giant marlin that pulls his boat along for three days and three nights. Once his prey is captured, Santiago must fight off other dangers to make his way home again.
