- Synopsis:
- 1787. Bounty sets out on a journey through perilous seas to a tropical paradise...and into history as one of the most ill-fated vessels in naval lore. Filmed before in 1935 and again 1984's 'The Bounty', the gripping story centers on first officer Fletcher Christian (Marlon Brando), a dandy transformed into a man of action, and Capt. William Bligh (Trevor Howard), uncompromising in his command or his cruelty. "Fear is (my) best weapon", Bligh proclaims. But it's also the most costly, driving men to desperation and mutiny. Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith and Richard Haydn also star in this epic adventure.

Entertaining account of famous historical event - Mutiny on the Bounty review by LH
Production problems and poor critical response caused this picture to make a loss at release. Since the film was made there have been arguments about its historical accuracy, and especially about the extreme depictions of captain William Bligh as monstrous sadist and Fletcher Christian as man of honour. But allowing for that there's plenty to entertain here, with amusing performances from Brando and Howard. DVD extras include a description of how the replica ship was built for the film.
