1787: HMS Bounty sails for Tahiti on a mission to transport from there the recently-discovered breadfruit plants regarded as an important source of food. Captain William Bligh , newly-promoted, hopes that the voyage will launch him on a brilliant career, so he is not at all pleased to hear it called a 'grocer's errand' by his first officer. As the days pass, the Captain becomes increasingly brutal and unpopular.
Screenplay by CHARLES LEDERER based on the novel by CHARLES NORDHOFF and JAMES NORMAN HALL Produced by AARON ROSENBERG Directed by LEWIS MILESTONE
