1787. HMS Bounty setter ut på en ferd som skal bringe skipet gjennom farlige farvann til et tropisk paradis... og inn i historien som en av de mest skjebnetyngede fartøyer noen sinne til å seile for konge og fedreland. Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front) har regien i denne fargerike utstyrsfilmen som fikk sju Oscar-nominasjoner, blant annet for beste film. Denne gripende historien, som ble filmet første gang i 1935 og senere i 1984-versjonen The Bounty, handler først og fremst om to menn. Marlon Brando spiller førstestyrmann Fletcher Christian, en overklassesnobb som forvandler seg til en handlingens mann. Trevor Howard er kaptein William Bligh, like kompromissløs i sin kommando som i sin ondskap. Bligh legger ikke skjul på at han bruker frykt som våpen. Men det har sin pris, mannskapet drives sakte men sikkert over i desperasjon og mytteri. Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith og Richard Haydn har andre roller i dette storslåtte dramaet.
