Who directed the 2014 film Noah, which retells the biblical Flood story?

Darren Aronofsky directed the 2014 film Noah, a dramatic retelling of the biblical Flood story.

The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah and was written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel, with a screenplay also credited to John Logan. It draws on the Genesis account but expands the story with fictionalized characters, conflicts, and visual elements. It is therefore an adaptation rather than a scene-by-scene presentation of the biblical text.

Noah was released in 2014 and also features Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. The production used large-scale effects to depict the Ark and the Flood, while presenting a darker tone than many children’s versions of the story.

The film’s title can be confused with other works about biblical figures, but the specific 2014 feature is identified by its director, Darren Aronofsky. Its source material is the Noah narrative in Genesis, supplemented by broader traditions.
