Summary: In December, 1787, the Bounty sails from Portsmouth, bound for Tahiti, amid great optimism among its crew, including idealistic midshipman Franchot Tone. But as the journey continues, shipboard life becomes a nightmare, a series of desperate confrontations between vicious, bullying Captain Bligh and the courageous first mate, Fletcher Christian. The crew mutiny, set the captain adrift, and eventually come to shore on the remote Pitcairn Islands.
