- 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. The uneasy peace with France has lasted for over a year, the seamen in the fleet have gone back to their homes and the officers languish on half pay. But across the ocean Napoleon Bonaparte is stirring whilst back home romance is blossoming for the gallant Horatio. As Horatio is reinstated as Commander of the Hotspur, he is soon recruiting his crew and setting sail for the coast of France, where he is about to truly discover the true relationship between his fellows, the Irish and the French and discover that the war is not over... - Actors:
