Santiago is an aging, down-on-his-luck, Cuban fisherman who, after catching nothing for nearly 3 months, hooks a huge Marlin and struggles to land it far out in the Gulf Stream.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Old Man and the Sea' is a classic drama centered on a fisherman's struggle with nature. There are absolutely no references to the Christmas season, traditions, or associated themes in the narrative."
