英国A&E佳作。根据英国畅销作家C. S. Forester最得意的系列小说改编,曾获多项艾美奖。描写了18世纪末19世纪初英国海军将领霍雷肖•霍恩布洛尔的海上传奇,刻画了一位正直、勇敢、智慧、富有冒险精神并时刻反思人生的船长形象。Before taking the Renown back to Jamaica for their court martial on charges of mutiny, Hornblower, Kennedy, and Bush convince an insecure and indecisive Lt. Buckland, now acting captain, that it would be appropriate to launch a surprise attack on the Spanish fortress at Santo Domingo. Matters are complicated when the inept Buckland incurs the enmity of the local rebels, who now regard them as enemies too. Captain Sawyer's increasing paranoia, deserting seamen, Buckland's growing jealousy of Hornblower, and the duplicity of the Spaniards all complicate the already perilous situation.
