Summary:
A British warship sails from London to the south seas under the command of Captain Bligh, a perfect symbol of vicious naval discipline, accompanied by Christian, as executive officer, and steeped in the tradition of Britain's sea power. The crew, ex-convicts and men from the slums, mutiny and set Bligh and a small group of faithful followers adrift in a small boat to make their epic ocean crossing of thousands of miles. Upon returning to England, Bligh sets out in another boat to scour the seas for the Bounty. Christian burns the Bounty so there will never be discovery of the survivors.
