In this modern adaptation of the biblical tale, Tony Danza stars as Norman Waters, a nice yet conniving building contractor called upon to build the legendary ark when God decides to destroy the Earth a second time. Reluctantly accepting the challenge presented by God's liaison, Zach (effectively portrayed by veteran character actor Wallace Shawn), Norman slowly learns that, as the widowed father of three sons (Benny, Daniel, and Levon for all you Elton John fans), his family is more important than his work or wealth. No one believes Norman when he tells them what he has planned, except for Angela (Jane Sibbett). She is the local animal expert, and provides Norman with assistance and caring during this monumental task. With impressive special effects and surprisingly good acting, Disney's Noah provides a refreshing view of an ancient tale and infuses this quite serious story with humor and warmth.
