Noah's Ark is a 1999 American-Australian television miniseries directed by John Irvin and starring Jon Voight, Mary Steenburgen, F. Murray Abraham, Carol Kane, Jonathan Cake, Alexis Denisof, Emily Mortimer, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, and James Coburn. The film is a fictional adaptation of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis. It was initially televised in the United States, that same year, was also televised in Canada, Germany and Portugal, among other countries.
The film portrays Noah as a resident of Sodom and Gomorrah. The two towns are fighting each other simply for the amusement of their residents. During the fight, Lot, Noah's friend, is injured in the fight, and comes to Noah for help. At the end of the fight, the leader of Gomorrah is killed with his head chopped off and put on a stake, as Sodom claims victory. The next day, Noah's sons excitedly ask their father if he took part in the deadly fight. God then asks Noah to go to Mount Tubac, where God reveals that the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah has provoked God to destroy the cities.
After Noah fails to find ten righteous people other than Lot and his wife, Noah and his family flee the city with Lot and his wife, who looks back at Sodom as it is being destroyed by fire and brimstone and turns into a pillar of salt.
Ten years later, Noah and his family are skilled farmers, and his sons are now adults. Lot is also now a criminal, as he kills another man for his shoes, and reveals that he used to have faith in God after He sent down the fire and brimstone to Sodom and Gomorrah, but his faith didn't bring him any money, and so he turned to the false gods of the other pagan cultures. One of the sons finds Ruth's Mother crying because her daughter Ruth has been kidnapped by three priests of Mole, the rain god, and will be offered as a sacrifice to Mole in the temple of the god. When Noah is notified by his sons, he warns the people in the temple, who are cheerfully waiting for Ruth to be sacrificed, that they will suffer a worse punishment than the people of Sodom did, and God rips the roof of the temple off and sends thunder and snakes into the building, while striking the three priests with dumbness, blindness and deafness.
God later reveals his plan to flood the world as well, and tells Noah to build an ark to preserve life. Two of every species of animal going to the ark pass through the village, which makes the villagers form an angry mob to get revenge. When the rain starts, the villagers start to celebrate as it had not rained in years, but Noah and his family quickly board the ark with all the animals and he decided send the boys to bring three girls onboard: Miriam, Esther and Ruth. As the world starts to flood with all of their citizens drowning, Ruth is instructed to come without her mother though she resists doing so at first, and all of Noah's family is thus safe.
The village leader and Lot are still alive and they have formed boats of their own. Lot has now become commander after killing the village leader in a fight. He orders the people on the boat to take over the ark, using ropes to try to climb over, but are beaten by Noah and his family with the help of the animals. God then sends a tidal wave going toward the boat, killing everyone.
Noah's Ark was critically panned for its creative liberties, rambling plot with inaccurate rendering of the Bible characters and irreverent portrayal of Biblical subjects. It confuses the Genesis accounts of Noah and the Deluge (Genesis 6-9) with the narrative of his distant descendants, Abraham and Lot (Genesis 13 and 18-19). Various scenes in the film were seen as recycled tropes from the post-apocalyptic genre; a scene in which Lot leads a band of pirates in an attack on the Ark was compared to Waterworld.[2][3] Even so, the second night set a movie ratings mark for NBC that it did not pass again until 2004.[4]

Noah is survived by her adoring mother, Melodie Rose Hatfield; her loving grandmother, Judy Carol Noah (Big Mama); her uncle and aunt, Dondi (whom she affectionately called Unc) and Stacy Noah (Aunt Stacy); her cousins with whom she had a close bond, Emersyn and Trent Noah; her person, Chris Dixon; half-siblings, Travis and Tory Canady; lifelong friends, Kaylea Gross and Katie Bennett Walker; and many other loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Born June 1, 1999, Noah brought immediate and immeasurable joy to her family and loved ones. Her contagious smile, uplifting personality, and passion for life drew all who knew her to adore her; however, there was none who adored her more than her mother, Melodie Hatfield, and her Big Mama, Judy Noah. Both surrounded Noah with unending love and complete devotion as she eagerly embraced all that life had to offer.
James A. Cawood Elementary School (JACES) provided Noah with not only her early education but also lifelong bonds with teachers and classmates as well. The deep bonds she forged with her JACES family were influenced by her love for basketball. She proudly competed as a Trojan, wearing red, white, and Carolina blue on the court. Her pride could not be denied when the team was crowned 5th/6th Grade County Champs in 2010-2011. Noah often reminisced about that first championship title and joyfully shared it as one of the greatest highlights of her competitive career; however, her winning streak was only just beginning as she accumulated a multitude of championship trophies over the course of her basketball career.
Noah did inspire others. Before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She had no memories of a life without needles and blood sugar readings, but that medical issue did not stifle her passion and zest for life. Instead, it allowed her to be a trailblazer and role model in overcoming obstacles and living life to the fullest. In her short twenty-four years, she dreamed big, she made a lasting mark, and she showed the power of tenacity and talent to be a winning combination.
Typical Noah, always wanting to share the love with others, she only received one admission ticket for the event, but she requested an extra one for her cousin, Emersyn (who also admired Mr. Tebow), to go as well. That was a cherished memory for them both.
Noah was born on February 11, 1999, in Valdosta, GA, to William Harry New, Jr. and Alicia Larkin Cartwright. Noah was a talented actor and artist with a personality you could never forget. He was a visionary with an eye toward mechanical engineering and loved his family and friends deeply. He was a lover of music, good food and he could build a great campfire. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Noah Nicholas Smith was born to Robie and Linda Smith of Jewell, July 8, 1999. He was called to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, April 16, at the age of 16.
Noah was a sophomore at BHS. He was an outstanding academic student, as well as an extremely gifted athlete. "Bobber" as he was affectionately known by his family (ask the family for the origin of the nickname) was a passionate and fierce competitor, whether it be with a ball, a bat, or a book, Noah always pushed himself to be the best at everything he did. "If you ain't first, you're last!" was a quote he often used. He was loved and respected by his family and friends. He enjoyed his niece and nephews. He also loved working on the farm. In his free time he would be out shooting baskets or playing X-box.
Noah will be deeply missed by his parents, Robie & Linda Smith, Jewell, brothers, Joshua (Leni) Asher & Breckyn, Jewell, Nash (Tazsa) Cashius, Cawker City, Casey & son Landon, Wellington, Hudson of the home, sisters, Bailie (Kevin) Pryor, Wichita, Hannah, Gabriel, Hadassah, Sharayah, & Karlene all of the home, grandparents, Robert & Joan Smith, Glen Elder, Nick & Lucille Peters, Jewell, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Funeral services will be at 10 AM Tuesday, April 19 at the Beloit First Christian Church, followed by burial in Wallace Cemetery near Jewell. Visitation will be from 1-8 PM with family present from 6-7:30 PM Monday, April 18 at the McDonald Funeral Home. Memorials may be given to the Beloit High School Athletic Fund.
