Review of The Bounty (1984) by Matt T — 30 Aug 2011
William Bligh (Anthony Hopkins), a real-life sea captain who, in 1787, steered The Bounty on a 27,000-mile voyage into danger, chaos and madness. After 31 days of battling severe sea squalls and Bligh's ever-increasing cruelty, the weary crew is relieved to finally land on a remote island. But soon their tyrannical captain wants to sail again, and the desperate men turn to first mate Fletcher Christian (Mel Gibson) to help them take the ship by force...or die trying.
Also stars Laurence Olivier, Edward Fox, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, Bernard Hill, Phillip Davis and Wi Kuki Kaa.
Directed by Roger Donaldson.
