In the 2014 film Noah, the giant ship built by Noah is called the Ark.
Directed by Darren Aronofsky, Noah stars Russell Crowe as the biblical figure. The film adapts the Flood story from Genesis but expands it with original characters, visual designs, and plot elements. Its Ark is presented as a massive wooden vessel constructed after Noah receives visions of the coming catastrophe.
The film’s depiction is not a literal reproduction of every detail in Genesis. It adds dramatic material, including the Watchers, and develops Noah’s family relationships in ways intended for a feature-film narrative. The central vessel nevertheless retains the traditional name “the Ark.”
The movie was released in 2014 and also stars Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. Its production design emphasizes the Ark’s scale and construction, making the vessel one of the film’s most prominent visual elements.
