It is night in the south seas near Tahiti, and the ship HMS Bounty has begun the long voyage home to England. But the sailors on the ship are angry men, and they have swords and guns. They pull the captain out of bed and take him up on deck. He tries to run, but a sailor holds a knife to his neck. 'Do that again, Captain Bligh, and you're a dead man!' he says. The mutiny on the Bounty happened in April, 1789. This is the true story of Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian, and the ship that never came home to England.


一個在接近大溪地南方島嶼的夜晚，一艘名為HMS Bounty的船正在回英國的途中。但這艘船上的水手都具有火爆的個性，他們擁在許多的劍與槍。這一天晚上，他們將船長由床上拖到甲板上。船長試著要逃跑，可是卻有一個水手將小刀壓在他的脖上想要制止他，「Bligh船長，你再那麼做，你必死無疑。」這是一個真實事件，發生在1789年四月，名為邦蒂號叛變事件。
