Is Russell Crowe’s Noah Biblically Accurate?

The 2014 epic biblical drama film Noah, which is inspired by the biblical story of Noah’s Ark from the Book of Genesis, is a testament to the courage and imagination of director Darren Aronofsky, who first became interested in Noah’s story when Aronofsky was a child. Noah stars Russell Crowe as the film’s protagonist, a righteous man who receives mysterious visions from God of an oncoming flood and subsequently builds an ark that’s large enough to hold Noah, Noah’s family, and pairs of every kind of animal before God’s wrath is unleashed through the apocalyptic flood.
