H.M.S. Defiant
The cry was MUTINY... and the decks ran red!...
Directed by Lewis Gilbert
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A tense historical drama about naval mutiny and the clash between tyrannical authority and desperate men seeking justice, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.
Defiant's crew is part of a fleet-wide movement to present a petition of grievances to the Admiralty. Violence must be no part of it. The continual sadism of Defiant's first officer makes this difficult, and when the captain is disabled, the chance for violence increases.
