What happens

Noah is a 2014 American drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ari Handel. Inspired by the biblical story of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis and the Book of Enoch, it stars Russell Crowe as Noah, along with Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins. The film was released by Paramount Pictures in North American theaters on March 28, 2014, in 2D and IMAX, while a version converted to 3D and IMAX 3D was released in several other countries. It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $359 million worldwide, making it Aronofsky's highest-grossing film to date. Although it received praise for its direction and acting, the film also generated controversy for its perceived environmentalist political messages and extensive use of extra-biblical sources for inspiration, such as the Book of Enoch. It was denied release in China, according to an anonymous source for "religion-related reasons", and was banned in several Muslim countries for its depiction of prophets venerated in Islam.
