- Synopsis:
Epic in scale and full of action adventure, suspense and romance, the Hornblower series is based on C.S. Forester's classic maritime adventures - the story of one young man's struggle to become a leader of men. Set against the back drop of the 18th century Anglo-French wars, the bloodiest time in British naval history, the films trace Hornblower as he grows from a stuttering, insecure, sea sick recruit to become the most gallant and redoubtable figure in naval history.
DutyHornblower's marriage to his landlady's daughter will surely be a festive occasion and a time for celebration as we rejoin Horatio and his adventures from Hornblower: Loyalty. It is not long before Hornblower returns to the stormy seas on a mission to rescue a boat in distress and a young lady swept overboard. But soon suspicions are arising as Hornblower starts to question if they have a frenchman in their midst. Are they being led into a death trap and are their enemies drawing in? It is Hornblower's task to steer clear of danger by unearthing his suspicions. However his tense and uneasy journey is to have an unexpected conclusion... - Actors:

Doesnt do the books justice - Hornblower: Duty review by CP Customer
I am a great fan of the Hornblower series of books, covering in depth the different aspects of life in the British Navy when it was supreme. This film didnt convey the depths or cover the more serious issues that the books tackle so adeptly. Maybe it was aimed at a teenage audience?
