The Bounty

Swashbuckling, high-seas adventure with Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson, directed by Roger Donaldson (The World's Fastest Indian).

William Bligh (Hopkins), a real life sea captain who, in 1787, steered The Bounty on a 27,000 mile voyage into danger, chaos and madness. After 31 days of battling severe sea squalls and Bligh's ever increasing cruelty, the weary crew is relieved to finally and on a remote island. But soon their tyrannical captain wants to sail again and the desperate men turn to first mate Fletcher Christian (Gibson) to help take the ship by force - or die trying.
