An idyllic voyage to Tahiti in 1789 turns a crew aboard the H.M.S. Bounty against its captain when they find a tropical paradise.
Acting
Hopkins' Bligh is somehow sympathetic AND despicable. Magic.
Cinematography
Actual Tahiti locations — no green screen, just pure turquoise thirst.
Production
Full-scale ship replica that nearly killed the budget AND the crew.
