This fifth film dramatization of the 1789 mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty is based on Richard Hough’s novel Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian. The socially impotent Captain Bligh is as strict a disciplinarian as ever. Mr. Christian, formerly Bligh’s friend, becomes the leader of the mutiny virtually in spite of himself!
Excellent performance with Mel Gibson as Christian and Anthony Hopkins as Bligh, however in this supposedly historically accurate version, out of 130 minutes, a mere two minutes and forty-three seconds is assigned to the breadfruit.
