The Bounty sails from Britain for Tahiti to obtain a cargo of breadfruit plants. Captain Bligh is in charge and he over-zealously enforces discipline by various methods, his favorite being flogging. Bligh cuts rations and works his men so hard that even first mate Fletcher Christian finds him hard to comprehend. In Tahiti, Christian and good friend midshipman Byam become involved with native women Maimiti and Tehanni. Tahiti is paradise compared to life on the Bounty under Bligh. When the Bounty is loaded and sets sail to return, the harsh treatment by their Captain is too much for the crew and Christian leads a mutiny. They set Bligh and his supporters adrift on a boat and return the Bounty to Tahiti. What they did not count on is the Captain's return. Written by Gary Jackson

  • In many respects, this movie is far better than the 1962 remake.

  • This is by far the best version.

  • I think mutiny on the whale ship the globe would make a fantastic film, the book is captivating.

  • The ship's company will bear in mind we are at sea under the Articles of War. Perhaps you are unaware that the Articles of War invest in me the authority to order punishment.

    During the recent heavy weather, I've had an opportunity to watch all of you at work on deck and aloft.

    You don't know wood from canvas, and it seems that you don't want to learn.

    Well, I'll have to give you a lesson. You, you, you, step forward.

    You three are a disgrace to saltwater!

    Ten days on half rations.

  • This is by far the BEST production. I really did like the Surgeon very much.

    - Here's a navy for you. Rum in the skimmers today and blood in the scuppers tomorrow

    - This is our ship's surgeon. We call him Mr. Bacchus. He's never told us his real name.

    - I've forgotten it

    - You're a plucky youngster. If necessary, I'd be happy to cut off one your legs anytime.

    -Thank you, Sir

  • Interesting little factoid: this is the last film to win the award for Best Picture but no other Oscar to date.

  • It is said that it was the title said as Nankai conquest at that time, and it was an academy work prize.

  • @RichardElden You're a fool!

  • @RichardElden what's wrong with it? i liked that movie!
