Master and commander : the far side of the world / 20th Century Fox ; Universal Pictures and Miramax Films present ; produced by Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., Peter Weir, Duncan Henderson ; screenplay by Peter Weir & John Collee ; directed by Peter Weir.
During the Napoleonic Wars, a British frigate, the HMS Surprise, and the larger French warship, Acheron, stalk each other off of the coast of South America. Lucky Jack, as he is referred to by his crew, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain. The ship's surgeon balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist. He is the captain's friend and confidant, the two frequently playing violin and cello duets together.
