Release Date: 8/9/2025

When a sudden attack by a French warship inflicts casualties and severe damage upon his vessel, Captain 'Lucky' Jack Aubrey of the British Royal Navy is torn between duty and friendship as he embarks on a thrilling, high‑stakes chase across two oceans to intercept and capture the enemy at any cost.

Adapted from the tenth novel in Patrick O'Brian's legendary 'Aubrey/Maturin' series, the film stars Russell Crowe as Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey, the Royal Navy's most daring and battle-tested commander, and Paul Bettany as his close friend, ship's surgeon, and naturalist Stephen Maturin. When HMS Surprise is ambushed by a superior enemy vessel, Aubrey must confront the brutal challenges of war, the unforgiving sea, and the limits of leadership. With his ship damaged and crew wounded, he sets off on a relentless pursuit across two oceans – facing a choice between duty and loyalty, and a mission that could alter the fate of nations or destroy them all.
