Description

The Bounty leaves Portsmouth in 1787. Its destination: to sail to Tahiti and load bread-fruit. Captain Bligh will do anything to get there as fast as possible, using any means to keep up a strict discipline.

On the way back to England, officer Fletcher Christian becomes the leader of a mutiny.
