CAPTAIN'S LOG - Day 41 - 41º 24' S. 43º 0' W. We came to an anchor off Rio. I sent Mr. Pullings with Dr. Maturin (who returned on board with a creature he called a Sloth). A Portuguese captain reported sighting the French frigate a week past presumably shaping course for the Horn. We are exercising the people at great guns in hopes that when we meet her… throwing brisk broadsides will make up the difference between our 28 guns and her 44.

Russel Crowe is Lucky Jack Aubrey, the Navy’s greatest fighting captain and Paul Bettany is ship's doctor Stephen Maturin. The ship, the H.M.S. Surprise, is suddenly attacked by a superior enemy. With the Surprise badly damaged and much of his crew injured, Aubrey is torn between duty and friendship as he sets sail in a high-stakes chase across two oceans, to the far side of the world, to intercept and capture their foe. It's a mission that can decide the fate of a nation – or destroy Lucky Jack and his crew.

The film is based on the narrative outline of the tenth book in Patrick O'Brian's legendary "Aubrey/Maturin" series of high seas novels about the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars.
