MASTER AND COMMANDER ...

Is a 2003 movie starring Russell Crowe as a captain in the Royal Navy as he hunts down a French privateer ship in the Napoleonic wars. The movie is based on a series of books by English novelist Patrick O'Brian that are known for their historical accuracy.

                                                                 © 20th Century Fox                                       © Patrick O'Brian                                                                                                       
The movie itself is astonishing for its dedication to that historical realism. It may have been more well known were it not for the fact that The Lord Of the Rings: The Return of the King came out at the same time.

Here is a link to the books series and a link to the movie on Amazon.
