![]() Bligh inflicts additional cruelties when he learns the breadfruit need more water than normal to survive the trip, he rations the sailors' water supply to almost nothing. After five relatively relaxing months in Tahiti waiting for the breadfruit to be in its growing season, the Bounty disembarks for Jamaica. His first lieutenant, Fletcher Christian ( Marlon Brando), tries to maintain a stoic sense of duty to ship and country, but finds this to be increasingly difficult as Bligh inflicts cruelty after cruelty on his crew. The Bounty's captain is William Bligh (Trevor Howard), who soon reveals himself to be a merciless tyrant. The HMS Bounty has been sent to set sail from England to Tahiti, where her sailors will collect breadfruit to be taken to Jamaica, where the East India Tea Company will cultivate the breadfruit to feed their slaves.
