Captain Blood

ActionAdventureRomance119 min

Wrongly convicted of treason after treating a rebel, English doctor Peter Blood is shipped to the West Indies in chains and forced into slavery. Errol Flynn is Blood, whose escape turns him from physician to feared pirate captain on the Caribbean seas. Olivia de Havilland's Arabella is the woman who buys him at auction, tying romance to a story of exile, revolt, and retribution. Courtrooms, governors, sword fights, and sea battles carry Michael Curtiz's swashbuckler from imperial punishment to the making of Captain Blood.
