Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

Based on the novel, 'Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian,' this is the story of a 1789 mutiny aboard the H.M.S. Bounty. This voyage to Tahiti for breadfruit begins well, but encounters difficulty when the Captain attempts to navigate around the perilous Cape Horn. After a dangerous struggle, the Captain admits defeat and reroutes his vessel. They arrive in Tahiti and find a tropical paradise, but the men soon become lazy and insubordinate. When the Captain announces that they will attempt to sail around the Horn again, the men rise to mutiny and send the captain and his loyal officers out to sea in a small open boat.

JHS. Mel Gibson in hell led astray by island native vice but in love and Anthony Hopkins fame-seeking Captain nearly kills his whole crew in failed circumnavigation but is the main discipline holding them together from total ruin. God is good. So is this film. Vangelis soundtrack!

Good movie, enjoyed the cool Vangelis track too. Recommended for all adventurers ;)

Best film ever made.
