In the middle of the South Pacific, a rebellion broke out, and Captain Bligh along with a handful of loyal men were forced into a tiny open boat and left to die.

Miraculously, they managed to survive and navigate 4000 miles to safety, despite being in some of the world's most remote and unforgiving seas.
