Based on the series of books by Patrick O'Brian and directed by Peter Weir, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World follows the fate of the crew of the HMS Surprise - a British Naval ship on a frantic search for their adversary, the French Man-O-War Acheron, during the Napoleonic war.

Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (also starring in our 35mm screening of Gladiator) stars as Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey, renowned as a fighting captain in the British Navy.

After the French ship almost sinks them in an early battle, the ship's surgeon and Aubrey's closest friend cautions him about letting revenge cloud his judgement.

With the HMS Surprise badly damaged and much of his crew injured, Aubrey is torn between duty and friendship as he pursues a high-stakes chase to intercept and capture his foe.
