Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) The year is 1787, and the H.M.S. Bounty sets sail from Portsmouth, England, on a mission to Tahiti to collect breadfruit saplings and transport them to Jamaica. The ship's crew, led by Captain William Bligh (Trevor Howard), faces a difficult voyage under their cruel and demanding commander. Bligh's harsh treatment of the crew, including flogging and reducing their rations, pushes First Lieutenant Fletcher Christian (Marlon Brando) to lead a mutiny against their captain. The crew revels in the tropical paradise of Tahiti, where Christian falls in love with Princess Maimiti (Tarita Teriipaia), but their stay is cut short by Bligh's agitation and the need to depart. On the voyage to Jamaica, conditions on the ship deteriorate, and the crew suffers under Bligh's strict rules. Two members of the crew meet tragic ends, further fueling tensions. Christian attempts to give a dying crewman fresh water in defiance of Bligh's orders, leading to a confrontation that ends with Christian striking Bligh. In response, Christian takes command of the ship and sets Bligh and the loyalist members of the crew adrift in the longboat. Bligh returns to Britain with remarkable speed and faces a military court that exonerates him of any misdeeds but also concludes that his appointment as captain was a mistake. Christian sails back to Tahiti to pick up supplies and then heads to remote Pitcairn Island to hide from the Royal Navy's wrath. However, Christian decides it's their duty to return to Britain and testify against Bligh for their actions.
