Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

2003

Based on the novels by Patrick O'Brian, this dramatic thriller pits "Lucky" Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe), captain of the HMS Surprise, and his crew against a privateer equipped with better weapons. This Oscar-winning adventure co-stars Paul Bettany (as ship doctor Stephen Maturin), Billy Boyd and James D'Arcy, and as the two vessels command the high seas during the Napoleonic Wars, the maritime chase continues to claim victims.
