Marlon Brando in

"Mutiny on the Bounty"

7 Oscar Award Nominations

Starring: Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith

In 1787, the Bounty sets sail from England for Tahiti under the command of Captain William Bligh (Trevor Howard). Her mission is to transport breadfruit to Jamaica, where hopefully it will thrive and provide a cheap source of food for the slaves. On the difficult sea voyage, Bligh's treatment of both men and officers meets with the strong disapproval of his second-in-command, 1st Lieutenant Fletcher Christian (Marlon Brando). The film plays up the conflict between the men as being based on class differences between the aristocratic Christian and the ambitious Bligh. Christian is always seen as being concerned about the men while Bligh is only concerned with impressing his superiors to gain career advancement at the expense of his men.

Bligh attempts to reach Tahiti sooner by attempting to round Cape Horn. The attempt fails, costing the mission much time. Bligh attempts to make up time by pushing the crew harder and cutting their rations. When the Bounty reaches her destination, the crew is exposed to the easygoing life in a tropical paradise and to the Tahitian women, whom they perceive as beautiful and sexually free. Christian himself is smitten with Maimiti (Tarita). Three men attempt to desert but are caught by Christian and clapped in irons by Bligh.

On the return voyage, Bligh attempts to bring back twice the number of breadfruit plants to atone for his tardiness, and must reduce the water rations of the crew to water the extra plants. One member of the crew assaults Bligh over conditions on the ship and is fatally keelhauled. Another falls from the rigging to his death while attempting to retrieve the drinking ladle. Seaman John Mills (Richard Harris) taunts Christian after each death. When a crewmember becomes gravely ill from drinking seawater, Christian attempts to give him fresh water in violation of the Captain's orders. Bligh strikes Christian when he ignores his second order to stop. In response, Christian strikes Bligh. Bligh informs Christian that he will hang for his action when they reach port. With nothing left to lose, Christian takes command of the ship through mutiny. Bligh and the loyal members of the crew are set adrift in a small boat (a "longboat") with navigational equipment and told to make for a local island. Bligh decides instead to cross much of the Pacific in order to reach British authorities sooner. Some loyal members of the crew are left behind because there isn't enough room for them in the longboat...
