The host Darren McGavin interviews eyewitnesses to the Ark who climbed Mount Ararat (some of it re-enacted on the mountain) and experts in the subject. The film not only details how the ark would have been constructed, but also recent evidence that would seem to prove where it is located. This was originally broadcast by CBS on television in February 1993. The film runs 90 minutes and has edited for private viewing.
